I would consider this to be a regressive tax on the poorest among us. The leftists have no shame.

This is not about raising revenue, it’s about punishing behavior they don’t like.

Everything but broccoli will be taxed.

“In fact, he was surprised that Americans didn’t yet have a tax on carbon and energy, considering that carbon and energy usage is directly related to the solar cycles that affect global temperatures”

And how precisely is that related Larry?

[headstamp 2]

Listen folks, these bastards are going to try to tax everything. They are simply NEVER going to cut spending.

You are already seeing the rationale building for nothing but tax increases.

[elkfersupper]

Well, they reached the "fiscal cliff" when it came to taxing gasoline, cigarettes, yachts and whatever else they have tried to tax out of existence.

Might as well try food.

We tried to warn people.

The next thing that will be taxed is the air that you breathe - oh, wait - it already is.

Never mind.

I'm thinkin' Ole Larry's had a few Twinkies hisself...

[Paladin2]

Go ahead with the Twinkie tax.

Laffer will be laughing.

[metesky]

One just doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry...

Taxing Junk Food Will Help Prevent Fiscal Cliff

Finally - the freeloading democrat base would have some skin in the game (but still using our money to pay those taxes).

BTW, seriously, what are the democrats willing to sacrifice for the fiscal cause, anyway? All I've heard about so far is taxing Republicans more. What about their "fair share?" What are they going to contribute????

Unfortunately, Twinkies and Hostess Cupcakes are going out of business and won’t be able to contribute to the revenue stream necessary to avoid the fiscal cliff.

What we need is a real progressive tax. The more progressive you are, the more you should be taxed.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

ALL LEFTISTS: Tax increases on everything solves everything! It never ends for the worldwide left.

[Eye of Unk]

Whats next, a society that has its people with countdown clocks embedded in their DNA, you have to pay a Life” tax to get additional life?

Oh wait, they made a movie about that didn’t they, and the ending.....?

“It’s hard to believe that raising the top tax rate to 39.6 percent — where it was under President Clinton — will do grievous damage to the economy.”

Of course they conveniently forget that Clinton fessed up that he had raised taxes too much...

[CSM]

Nope, didn’t see this one coming. Oh well, at least our clothes don’t stink. Who cares about individual liberty, or private property, when we can bend others to our will!
