It started with the smokers, now the tax bullseye is on the back of the restaurant and bar patrons. Don’t complain when you get taxed by the calorie, or have to pay $20 for a shot of whiskey, or $10 for a bottle of beer. As a smoker, I would vote for just such a tax, just to teach you a lesson in individual rights. You voted for it, and now you have given the government a precedent to exploit it, and exploit it they will.

They never learn.
But I would never vote for a fat tax.

So when do they go after all you can eat fish fries or buffets? They could weigh the patrons when they come in and leave to assess a new tax. ;-)
