What would we do without our Government? We would probably be fat and drink too much Coke and Pepsi!
We get it, the government wants money, but to try to sell that concept as a benefit to the American People to help prevent obesity is a hilarious concept. If we are attempting to prevent obesity, maybe a more practical alternative would be taxing candy bars, donuts, and Doritos. Or maybe, just maybe, obesity is directly related to the ratio of calories you consume versus the calories your body burns!
Funny how this is discussed as we are working on a plan for Health Care Reform! How else can we afford the billions upon billions of dollars this reform will cost us?
I will cut taxes – cut taxes – for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class. -Barack Obama
Thank the Lord the US Government is here to protect us! Since we could never possibly control our own compulsions, we must rely on them to make sure we do not consume in excess. This tax was projected at 3 cents per 12 ounces. If you want a can of Mt. Dew, would this stop you? I can sell the lint in my pocket for 3 cents, or at the very least find it in my couch, so if anyone can explain to me how this will protect us from anything, please let me know.
