I don't mind that they tax soda, go ahead, just don't tax my pop
It's pretty fucking stupid if you ask me, for one, it's gonna hurt the companies that produce pop like Coke and Pepsi financially because even the people that aren't obese might cut back on drinking it because of the price.
Some assholes have too much time on their hands to come up with stupid ideas like this. Hey, I just thought of a great idea, why don't we add more taxes to gasoline, to get all the obese people to walk or ride their bikes more ??? We can also tack on a nice tax increase to all the fast food restaurants out there and while we're at it, give tax credits to those that have gym memberships.
