Are the liberals saying Hillary’s fat ass is because she eats McDonalds? If not, why is her ass so big and what can we tax to help her lose weight?

NO, you want to cut obesity then make sure they can’t use FOOD STAMPS for junk food. They go out of the grocery story with carts full of it.

Apparently my great Governor thinks that taxing soft drinks is the way to go ...

I would like to tell him which way to go.

NY now enjoys an additional 100+ new taxes ... and we are going deeper and deeper in the hole.

THANKS TO ALL THE “PROGRESSIVES” in our once great state.

And to think, the revolution was finally ignited over a tax on tea. Our founding fathers must be turning over in their graves right about now.

>Actually, yes it has but that is NOT what they really want. They just want to tax. The more that quit is the less in tax revenue.<

true, and let us not forget that they use the smoking tax to pay for child health care. You know that they will never cut back on that. They will just have to find another source of income to tax to pay for it.

When will it all end?
