They really don't care if we eat junk food and drink cola. It's a big business. It is PI right now though so they think they can get away with taxing it. JMO.

Yep.
I wonder what the favorite soft drink the antismoking FR crowd enjoys. Probably none; considering how perfect they are.
Anyone want to start a pool to see what'll be the next target? My money's on coffee/caffeine.

The light of liberty is flickering in America now.. all under the excuse of protecting us from ourselves.

"also suggested a tax on sodas to make up for an expected decline in revenues from tobacco taxes as higher costs discourage new smokers."

I have seen this one coming for quite a while.(I can't remember how many times I was told to get a "tin-foil hat") You can bet your boots mickie d's and such establishments will be next under the tax-ax. The America we knew growing up is dead. I think we are already about 45% or more down the road to socialism now. Sucks, don't it?
