A lot of folks here think I carry water for Vlad Putin but what a Liberal Democrat he is on this one taxing "sugary drinks".

All politicians have to find something to tax, something to "raise revenue".

Here's Vlad's stab at it.

All of Russia is now an American public school.

The way around this tax is simple. Make the rumor true. Make Dr Pepper with plum juice.

Just what Russians need - an excuse to drink more vodka.

Gov. Mike Huckabee did stuff like that. Didn’t help cure his family obesity crisis per the group photo.

Putin is a Communist. He’s only doing what Bloomberg would do...

I’m part Ukrainian and part Russian.

I don’t know what to believe. Taken no side.

I’m hard pressed to think we should be funding this to the levels of mega-billions, especially since some of the military equipment we have sent to Ukraine has showed up on the black market.

Their bit coin got funneled into our leftist politicals. (and, to be fair, the Turtle.)

The results are our spending is screwing our kid’s future, major.

A tax on coffins would raise a lot of money for RuZZia.

Heard there is a big market for them.

Whatever the Russian word for “nanny” is, I guess that fits Vlad.

I guess I don’t understand why anyone in America cares. So they taxed sweet drinks. Who cares. Russia can tax what they want to tax.

Perhaps he simply doesn’t like the look that comes from a lifetime of drinking “Big Gulps”.
