That's a pretty silly and indefensible argument.

BOTH major political parties promise to provide "tax incentives" favored by their respective partisan supporters

While both parties have been "Tax Happy" for far too long.

However, only one proposes taxed to "Control Behavior." Which party has pushed recent initiatives for "Junk Food" taxes? Come on Willie, you can say it; confession is good for your soul.

Additionally, about six years ago John Kerry proposed a federal tax hike of 50 cents on every gallon of gasoline for the stated purpose of "discouraging unnecessary driving.

When did truth become silly and indefensible?

Well yes, as long as you back me into a corner with no other option...
I'll hold my nose, choose the lesser of two evils and finally admit:
YES, I would prefer to see a federal tax on Junk Food rather than that corrupt abomination they call the "Fair Tax"

.

Whew.... gee... you're right!!

That really WAS good for my soul!

Thanks!!!

When did truth become silly and indefensible?

When it's a hypocritical "pot-kettle-black" accusation.
