| singling out soft drinks for a new tax simply for the purpose of generating more revenue for your home state seems like a poorly-conceived plan. Unless, of course, you're into raising taxes on the poor, in which case you should raise taxes on sodas, cigarettes and booze while lowering taxes on yachts and luxury vehicles.If you really want to raise money for U.S. states, just tax stupidity. There's plenty of that to go around.Oh, I forgot: There's already a tax on stupidity. It's called the lottery. [grin]If we really want to fight obesity in America,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just run public service announcements teaching people the truth about processed foods, HFCS,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], MSG and other nasty ingredients that promote obesity. Or ban all artificial foods and beverages until they can be proven safe for human consumption. That would solve the obesity problem virtually overnight, because virtually ALL processed foods promote at least one major disease such a cancer, heart disease, diabetes, depression or kidney stones.Why is it legal in America |
