Nanny State PING!

We Freepers often muse that a gun confiscation or the bouncing of EBT cards will cause civil unrest but if you want to see riots on a nationwide scale this is THE way to do it.
Most junk food is already more expensive than meat per pound. Just imagine what John and Jane Q Public might do when they find their munchies are more than their cable bill. WooHoo!!
Exactly how does Obama get to do this unilaterally? Don't we have a Constitution that ascribes this power to Congress?
Section 8. Clause 1. The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.
How about taxing your kid’s grades in school? AFTER ALL, we KNOW that kids who don’t make good grades in school are a DRAG on society as a whole ...
So, lets say that the cost to educate a kid is $10K/year.
Then, we tax based on grades:
A = 0% [$0], B = 5% [$500], C = 10% [$1000], D = 15% [$1500], and E = 20% [$2000]
But WAIT A MINUTE, thats not FAIR !!! Those with BETTER grades should be the ones that are taxed.
So, we tax in reverse - to spread the wealth around:
A = 0% [$2000], B = 5% [$1500], C = 10% [$1000], D = 15% [$500], and E = 20% [$0]
rules....
This explains 0bama’s take down of Hostess via his union buddies immediately following his re-election. McDonald’s, KFC and Burger King ‘hits’ under way.. Dictators always take the things people enjoy away from them. It’s all about CONTROL.
They are saving hundreds of thousands from a gruesome tobacco death so they can die EVEN MORE prematurely from starvation in a global economic collapse that kills hundreds of millions if not billions. Only brain dead libtards could do crap like this. Only brain dead libtard voters would vote this kind of “intellect” into a position of authority.
Wonder what the fast food industry ... indeed the entire restaurant industry ... will look like once the wookie gets done regulating what they can serve, and the unions force them to pay everyone $20 an hour plus health benefits?
Home cooking will be making a big revival in America!
Sam ain’t yo “uncle” anymo. He’s yo daddy now!
More evidence that Obamacare is not about health care but about controlling the masses.
Obama, you will have to pry my Little Debbies from my cold, dead hands!
FUBO
Yeah - taxes and regulations always result in stimulus....
If they want to save healthcare costs, shouldn’t they get people to be more unhealthy, so they die sooner? That’s what some of this is about.
No doubt such rules/taxes would include generous rebates/relief to unduly affected “classes”. For example, poor obese Amish females would likely be exempted.
Ultimately, we’ll find (surprise, surprise) that the burden of such rules/taxes will fall almost exclusively on aging, white males in Red states.
I’m not being factious either; this and much, much worse is coming. The only thing that will stop it is either the pending financial collapse and/or revolution. It may take 50 years before the revolution, and most of here won’t live to see it, but that’s what going to happen.
Great. Here comes the food pyramid and metabolic syndrome on steroids. Stalin’s second coming.
