At this time of year, the last thing anyone wants to think about is paying more taxes. But there's one tax I'm in favor of - and you should be, too, if you care about your health and the health of the planet: a sin tax on meat, cheese and other animal-based foods.

A SIN TAX on Hollywood and the entire entertainment industry would raise more money and do more for the health of this country than anything this fool has to offer.
But we shouldn't tax them. Lets educate them. The FDA is killing millions with their recommendations on food.
Liberalism is a genetic birth defect.
“A SIN TAX on Hollywood and the entire entertainment industry would raise more money and do more for the health of this country than anything this fool has to offer.”

As to the concept of taxing meat in order to eat healthier, I will skip fruits and vegetables and only eat meat. I love meat! I love steak tartar. meat meat meat meat meat. yum yum yum.
tofu should be taxed as much as cigarettes.
“...give tasty vegan foods a try, which would then help to reduce the nation’s health care costs and its Sasquatch-size carbon footprint.”

In that case Miss Heather, I want a sin tax on Starbucks, iPods, kale, hummus, sparkling water, skinny jeans, and whatever else you like that I don’t.
Hope I’m not out of place here, but where is the gay sex tax? How much has AIDS cost the country. Liberals want to arrest globull warming deniers, I’m sure. well isn’t spreading an Established deadly disease just as bad?
Take that idea Heather and Get Bent!
it would not only stimulate the economy
HTF would it "Stimulate" the Economy?
It's a TAX it gets money OUT of the Economy!
But, I am looking at this the wrong way.
This isn't about facts or logic.
It's about either For the Low Info Voter - Caring and Sharing! and all that Bull
or B. For their Communism Revolutionary Handlers - Power and Control.
Nothing Says Communist Control like a good famine!
Ukraine's Carbon Footprint was in the negative in '32 and '33.

Lets all sing to Heather:
Black strap molasses and wheat germ bread
Makes you live so long that
You wish you were dead
