Where’s the choice for “Hell no”?
Who are the morons voting yes? *Please tax us! Please! Please*
I rarely think the stuff but am dead against the entire idea.
Who the hell wants to pay 15 bucks for a rootbeer float?
Last week the Liberal hobby horse in Parade Magazine was that the government needs to create a “comprehensive” child care system for pre-schoolers. There is yet to be a Leftist bandwagon that Parade hasn’t jumped on.
think the stuff = drink the stuff
These people are insane.......
For those that think we are not being taxed enough. Send an extra donation in with your next state and federal return and leave the rest of us alone!
I agree!
We should not tax soda. We should not cap trade, but we should cap Congresscritters.
" Lets Tax your IRA, 401ks ?"These people are nuts.
All Hail Queen Nancy's 757
The Jet is a USAF Boeing 757
*And they STILL want to talk about Sarah's clothing
*MADAME PELOSI*
Madame Pelosi wasn't happy with the small private jet that comes with the Speaker's job...no, Madame Pelosi was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat 200 seat jet that could get her back to California without stopping!
Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee as Joe informed everyone what Nancy's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American Taxpayers, for the thousands of gallons of fuel every week.
Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California , cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000 one way!
As Joe put it, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday Night' Cost to us is another $60,000. Folks, that is $480,000 ? per month and that is an annual cost to the taxpayers of $5,760,000. No wonder she complains about the cost of this war... it might cramp her style and she is styling, on my back and yours.
I think of the military families in this country doing without and this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of this country, keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing.
Madame Pelosi wants you and me to conserve our carbon footprint. She wants us to buy smaller cars and Obama wants us to get a bicycle pump and air up our tires.
Might I suggest that if they really tax soda pop it could set off a firestorm and that might be a good thing?
What a ripe event to carry out a real true tea party (er soda party) in the spirit of 1776. Since the 1776 colonists got fed up with the excessive tax on tea they dumped it in the harbor to stop the tax revenue from getting to King George.
WE could then do the same thing - all across this country dump the pop in every river, lake, stream we can find and strangle the tax revenue and send a clear message to Washington that WE THE PEOPLE have had enough!
If the environmentalists start howling do it anyway and send a signal to them also that rebellion has started!
Since we have so many “moral high ground” Americans supporting tax on tabbaco, I say yes! Let’s put sin taxes on everything the nanny staters hate! Sodas, beer, wine, snacks, fast food, resturant food...the list is endless. Sooner or later we’ll hit enough people that they will see the error of their fascist wannabe status.
Damn it, NO!!!!!
Tax Coke & Pepsi all you want but leave Dr Pepper ALONE!!!
Only the kind with high fructose corn syrup.
Leave my diet soda alone.
