Maybe the feds would also like to follow NY state and increase taxes on non "diet" labeled soda's.

In NY, taxes on tobacco and alcohol (and now non-diet sodas) are called SIN taxes. You whacky sinners.. now get yourself to church and repent. But we keep the money.

The other thing you will all see is your states requiring Amazon and others to collect your states sales tax, like they do in NY.

NY state claims that since Amazon has an affiliate program, and has affiliates physically located in the state, that Amazon has a physical presence in the state, and as such, is required to collect the state sales taxes exactly the same as any other brick n mortar in the state! (hello horrifying prescedent!!) Amazon is collecting tax currently for anything shipped to NY, but are suing. Overstock.com also was forced to do the same, until they TERMINATED ALL NY AFFILIATES and are also suing the state.
