On the news last evening , they are now talking about additional tax on soda to help pay for healthcare because people who drink sodas have potential for more medical problems. All you guys who said it was OK for cigs to be taxed because of potential medical problems were told it would eventually happen to you. Well it's starting and I hope your happy.

I hope they tax Pepsi right out of existence, the Obama-loving dumbasses. Reap what they fucking sow.

Just wait until they get this health care shit through. Fines for eating fast food, staying up past your bed time, or owning guns. You guys who like to ride motorcycles or sky-dive might as well go ahead and hang that shit up too. Hooray for the nanny-state! The soviets would be proud!

It's gotten so bad here in NY that they are making you pay a 5 cent deposit for every bottle of water you buy. Then to get the nickle back you have to turn in the water bottle at the store - which then has to pay for the processing of all the water bottles. Of course, any money that's left over for bottles that don't get returned goes to the state. Naturally. -K |

Unfortunately, this would result in something akin to fairness, and as such is unrealistic with our current legislation. |

Drinking a soda only affects the person drinking it. Smoking affects everyone around you. Smoke gives me major migranes, puts me in a lot of pain, and on occassion causes me to miss work. People drinking soda's don't do that to me.

I vote for a "welfare" tax. On welfare for more then two years results in an immediate yearly taxation of ALL property aqquired in that time.
And people think a "bullet tax" is far-fetched. Dream on gents, dream on. If you can't ban it, tax it just enough to artifically create a lack of demand without an actual ban. We already pay 12% + state tax so jumping it significantly wouldn't be that hard. |

Its been my argument the whole time about big gov and gov run healthcare. Its just a way for them to get involved in our lives.
I know its a movie, But watch the Island. Eventually you will have some red tape .gov worker telling you what you can have at each meal, With which activities you can spend your time doing. What you can drive, What you can do for a living. Anyone that thinks it wont happen, Well remember you didn't think we would get to THIS point in America either. Unfortunately with how the system is run, It will be here until its time to water the tree. |
