ABC News: Slimming Down by Taxing Soda

Gotta love it. First the smokers. Now fat people and soda.

I really have 2 issues with this. First, I think the medical industry needs to be knocked down a notch. Second, we are slowly moving away from a democracy and into socialism. (some might even argue we are already there).

What I do love about this is it is a DEMOCRAT doing this. I am sure they will spin it and blame Bush somehow.

Yesterday, smokers, Today fat people and sodas, what does tomorrow bring?

Why soda? You'd think he'd go after the snack chip people, the Hostess people and various chain restaurants, such as Outback, where a steak meal with a shared bloomin' onion appetizer can put you back almost 2,000 calories and over 100 grams of fat.

Gavin Newsome is such an idiot, and it speaks about the people of San Fran that they elected him.

Congress recently banned incandescent light bulbs (Thanks Bush ) and soon all cars will need to meet the 30+ mpg standard.

The mayor is proposing that grocery chains pay a fee if they sell sodas such as Coca-Cola or any other drinks that are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup.

He probably owns stock in the chemical companies that produce artificial sweeteners. Follow the money on ANYTHING politicins do and most of their proposals "for the good of the community" help line their pockets.

Rush pointed this out over a decade ago. Just a matter of time.

the lights contain mercury. If everybody calls the EPA every time they break one, maybe they'll repeal that one.

Is that all cars SOLD here or or all MANUFACTURED here?

So, I'm not fat. I want to drink high calories sodas and sugarry energy drinks. Are they going to tax me, the consumer, next?
