Any excuse for a new tax! This isn't really about improving health or they would eliminate the tax on healthful food items alongside this tax increase. It's about revenue enhancement and lifestyle taxes are all the rage.

Just like the cigarette tax, this one is regressive since most junkfood eaters, like most cigarette smokers, are low wage earners.

I bet somewhere in that bill it says this tax is for the children, as in: we're doing this to encourage parents to give up snack foods and give their children healthier food.

The State must give the children healthier food, because Heaven knows that the CHiP's program can only help a few dozen of them now.

A polititian tax , Tax them for every word they speak, every step they take, every time they blink their eyes, tax them for standing, tax them for siting, tax them for taxing the rest of us. And make it retroactive so their kids, grandkids and great grandkids could never posses anything greater than a dime.
