“What’s next?”

Anything that makes you smile.

That’s something that spoilsports both left and right can agree upon. (Besides, liberals lack a sense of humor and never smile anyway.)

Where are all those pro-cigarette tax FREEPERS???? They were so thrilled to see 75 cent tax on cigarettes and were bliss about it....well unless they eat dirt from the ground their food or entertainment choice will be taxed too....just a matter of time...apparently a very short matter of time.

Jeez. Like the Pop business needs another blow. It’s just now starting to come back now that gas prices have stayed low

“What’s next?”

I say tax feminine napkins next as they pose an uncomtrolled bio hazard, besides that, most any male plumber will agree that the only use they have for them, is when they snake them out of the office lavatories.

The tax on loose tobacco is going up by 2200% on April first.

Here in Michigan Jenny Granholm is already saying the drop in revenue from lottery and tobacco taxes is “breathtaking”.

There’s no limit on what these lowlifes will do to take our money. They will tax more and more things to pay for their always expanding pork projects. I don’t know how anybody could look at these politicians without wanting to spit right in their faces.

A tea tax, as soon as they decide that tea parties are a sin.

While caffeine shouldn’t be taxed, States should put a little scrutiny into where it is used as a food additive.

Remember that it is a psychoactive drug, can effect sugar metabolism, interfere with sleep patterns, and other things. This is fine as far as adults are concerned. However, a LOT of foods and drinks targeted to children are laced with caffeine as well. This is not so good.

Before the age of 19-25, children’s brains are not fully mature. It is been proven that when addictive substances are given to children, not only are they more likely to get addicted than adults, but the condition may be permanent. For the rest of their lives, it will be easier for them to get substance addiction, even to other drugs.

While caffeine has very mild addictive effects, the principal of giving what amounts to poisons to undeveloped brains posits risk.

Not that it should be banned in children’s foods and drinks yet, but that it should be looked at. Since it does not enhance flavor or taste in such products, then why give them to children?

Here's one I've proposed before: Tell ol' Rob Reiner that you want to tax movie tickets (just like he pushed for higher tobacco taxes); see how he likes being hit in the wallet!
Don't forget to tell him it's for children!

When people start doing for themselves, these vultures get real creative. Such as, folks planting survival gardens. Look for a huge tax on seeds soon.

What's next?

Nationwide taxes on the obese, and then it's back to drinkers again.
