Quit buying any sodas & kick their butts!
I quit cigs in 1978 and just last week terminated my addiction to Diet Coke. So when the rest of the population gives them up and drives yet another set of businesses out of the country, they will finally get around to breathing. But they are working on that as well with the personal carbon emission tax. King George would be proud.
OK so we now will nationalize Coke and Pepsi. Next target, Beef and pork...(You think I am KIDDING? The great Bacon Ban of 2010?)
Doesn't work that way. Once they start down this path, there's no end to what they'll tax to change your behavior and "pay" for health care. Bullets hurt people - tax them. Cars injure people in accidents - tax them. Necks get contorted from working on computers all day and keyboards cause carpal tunnel problems - tax them. Fireplaces cause pollution and asthma - tax them. You're not walking your government-required 5 miles per day - special assessment tax for you, buddy, because your ilk is ruining the healthcare of the nation. Burning fossil fuels causes CO2 which hurts our health - tax fossil fuels. Oh, wait, they've got that one already covered.
This will be a pretense to lard higher and higher taxes on all of us, but it's "for our health" so it'll be ok.
Fast food will be the next target. They are going to have to cast a wide net to pay for this. Women, children, and minorities will be hit harder by this, not that Zero gives a rats patoot.
Stop filing tax returns and kick their butts into oblivion!
And when people stop drinking pop, they’ll have to tax something else. Everyone here should know the dems will not stop at just one source to pay for this farce.
Kick their Butts? There is an idea...how about a sodomy tax to fund HIV related costs.
Quit buying any sodas and I die of thirst.
