High obesity is caused by ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. If such thing passes, I will start smuggling soda on the black market, just like my hero and idol Al Capone did Alcohol. Stupid law, that only a DemoCrap would pass. In Texas Senator Eddie Lucio DemoCrap of Brownsville, Mexico (Brownsville is no longer part of Texas with all the illegals down there) is pushing this wacky idea. VOTE LUCIO OUT!!! HE IS UN AMERICAN!!! and a SPICK!!! Because he doesn't believe in a free society.
Wow I'm 222 Lb and i love soda but i have never heard as such a stupid idea by Obama (Barry) If he want's to fix the bad economy ask me how the bush tax cuts help cause i know but i can't tell you cause i have a limited number of characters.
All the taxes we pay we are doing them a favor, and that is not good. If we were smarter than them we could had drunk more water instead of soda. Or grow some food out in the farms. instead of going to the grocery story in purchasing all of this high priced foods
I think america is fucking disgusting. some 30 percent of adults are obese, and this tax of like 1% isnt gonna fucking make you broke. its just a signal from the government saying, "hey fatasses, now we make more money off of your poor food choices lol"
the wrold looks at america as a load of fatasses that all work in offices.
i hate soda, i'd choose a lemon or an apple over a bag of chips any day, why cant other people quit being so fat.
The entire idea of taxing soda is not necassary. It comes down to US farm policy. What is in our sodas and other junk foods.. HFCS! All you have to do is stop subsidizing the production of corn and the price of soda will increase naturaly. The only reason to grow corn is subsidies. W/o subsidies, corn production will stop until the market the price rises (due to lower supply). Just let basic free market econ take over & the price will go up on it's own. HFCS is only cheep because of subsidies!
Taxes on cigarettes have not, in any way, shape, or form, reduced smoking! If anything, its the public awareness campaign that cigarettes destroy your lungs that has reduced smoking, and even then...
Big brother taxes items that it knows people consume ALOT of, because its extra revenue to use for more expansion. Big brother only uses "health" as a smokescreen!
Taxing soda is a stupid idea.I'm not fat & have fathered 4 slim children.We never eat dessert.I never buy them gum/candy,we only eat ice cream/cake on their birthdays.Chicken/veggies for dinner.We drink water.Fat children become obese adults & these children have their parents to blame.One time when I took all my kids to the clinic because one had the Flu,the Dr. stopped and commented on how 'unfat' my kids were.We play Frisbee/whiffle ball in the backyard.We don't do interviews & start crying.
Big Brother knows what's best for us. If the Government would list everything it wants us to do and not do, I would gladly follow it to the letter. After all, they are a lot smarter than we are.
The "money" raised by the these new taxes never makes it way down to the regular people. Cigarette tax? Alcohol tax? Gas tax? These monies NEVER EVER benefit the people it is purported to benefit. Although I don't drink soda, we need to fight yet another tax. LETS RECALL ALL THE REPS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS NEW TAX.
