New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has decided that everyone else should drink less soda. The city has launched a multi-pronged effort to get New Yorkers, especially low-income New Yorkers, to drink fewer sugar-sweetened beverages. The mayor, who is the tenth richest person in the country according to Forbes, initially suggested using economic pressure to change New Yorkers’ buying habits by imposing a statewide tax on sugar-saturated beverages.

PROGRESSIVE ‘NUDGE’
If the sheeple are going to keep electing dims with their cradle to grave mentality, then they reap what they sow.
can’t have a sody pop, but you CAN have a joint....
My thoughts exactly. Could you imagine the shrieks from the progressives if any politician dared to suggest this.
This is the same Bloomy who's in favor of the ground zero Victory Mosque. No hazard there....none at all.
Maybe freepers should hold a sugar day in NYC, handing out free Kool-aide and soda pop.
Just to get under their skins.
Bloomberg is a Food NAZI.
First they came for the Whiskey drinkers, I did not object cause I was not a Whiskey drinkers.
Then they came for the Beer drinkers, and I did not object cause I was not a beer drinker.
Then they came for the Soda drinkers, and I did not object cause I was not a soda drinker.
and then they came for me... a water drinker... and there was nobody left to object.
Poor folks are gonna have their soda pop to which they have become addicted, no matter what it costs. They keep electing this liberal nonsense, so if they love to pay taxes through the nose, let ‘em pay. Their government sugar tit will dry up one day, and they’ll have to live with what they have wrought.
On another note; do you know how to starve a Democrat to death? - Just hide his food stamps under his work boots.
Guns are just the beginning.
From guns to salt.
Unbelievable.
You're a mean one . . . .
Hold a party in front of bloombergs house celebrating sugary soda...
