Democrats Want To Tax Your Soda Pop

New Obama-bot talking point that showed up yesterday ..

Ignore the fact (or any other facts) that Obama supported a “single payer” plan (but said there wasn’t support for it yet) back in 2003 and 2008, rather what is important is the plan he is putting forth now.

That seems like a tall order .. it’s sort of like saying you should ignore any Japanese ships heading toward Pearl Harbor in early Dec 1941.

Another Tax & Spend scheme that will not have a good outcome for John Q. Public.
Meanwhile the taxpayer subsidized healthcare for elected officials remains world class
at rates that You or I could never get.

The Fleecing continues unabated…

I drink Diet Coke without any sugar. But something tells me that will be taxed too.

This idea that Dems want to tax beverages which add to obesity is bull crap. They just want to find a new tax.

And once again, what about Obama’s promise not to raise ANY taxes on people making less than $250,000? Or does no one pay any attention to that since the election and since Obama already signed the bill raising cigarette taxes; which mostly impact the poor who smoke more?

Instead of taxing us, they should be giving US the bailout money. Why in the world would you inject billions and billions of dollars into a company that is failing? What are we doing? Does anyone know? Or are we just throwing money around, trying to make something, anything happen? Help us…

you forgot to mention the fart-o-meter which will keep track of the methane released and be credited to your carbon footprint.

I thought Pepis was paying Obama to endorse them. What happened? Did they change their minds and this is his way iof getting even?

why not milkshakes? why not Big Gulps? how about whiskey sours?
I’ll stop now–that should about pay for healthcare.

Democrats ran the price of gas up by threatening to overtax the producers. Gas went up, people quit buying American Automobiles. Hundreds of thousands out of work, never to return.

Cap and Trade will destroy the energy industry. Hundreds of thousands will be out of work, never to return.

O’Dumbo has a plan in his empty head to reform the best medical system in the world to make it like the worst systems. Does anyone really think people will spend years in medical school to work for the government at a GS rating. Hundreds of thousand will be out of work and out of life saving care.

Todays democrats led by O’Dumbo are the most dangerous sub-human thing to face America in history. I still hope for a massive terrorist attack on D.C. while everyone is in town. It’s America’s only hope for survival as a free country.

I drink Diet Coke as well – too much of it. They put too much sugar in standard soda drinks – although that’s up to us to decide whether we want it or not. However doesn’t Diet Coke has Aspartame which is controversial.

If they put up taxes slightly up on certain foods then it should be to lower the costs of other foods if they want to influence healthy eating. However this isn’t the case – it looks like an old fashioned stealth tax.

So when I visit America they’ll be taxing sugar this and sugar that? Lucky I drink diet. Cuba is looking good.

At this rate, the black market won’t be looked upon with distain but with admiration. Part of “civil disobediance”.

Cigs, booze, pop, back room health clinics, etc…..it will become a sport, hobby and profession.

Didn’t they do this in the Colonial days?

What do guys think about food regulation? How far should it be a free market? Presumably you are for safety standards. Do you think there should regulation on amounts of sugar, fats placed into food etc? Also how about labeling? Should the government enforce food companies to clear label not just their ingredients but also the calories, sugar etc.

There’s plenty of talk about obesity epidemic which sounds a little hysterical but no doubt people are getting fatter.
