Washington states did and the people promptly overturned it in the next election.

Maybe someone will propose a hefty tax on anti_psychotic drugs in MN. That would get Marx Dayton’s attention.

The huge Obamacare bill and its stack of regulations may already have taxes on junk food — to fund Michelle’s pet projects and vacations.

I think it is an awesome idea, although implementation would be complicated and soft-drink taxes are already ineffective as an ‘obesity tax. The individual liberty argument would have more weight if the health effects weren’t spilling over into society in the form of higher insurance premiums and a greater share of public dollars going to Medicare and Medicaid.

Wish conservative lawmakers would take a cue from these a******s. I want to see a tax on communist reading material... $1,000 on anything by Marx, Mao, Alinsky. $999 on anything by their students. $100 on any flyer handed out on a street corner by any communist punk, etc. They say they are worried about snacks rotting kids’ teeth. I’m worried about their crap rotting kids’ minds. My concerns are at least as valid as theirs.

More miserable, moronic ideas from the liberal controlled government in Minnesota. I am amazed that I can even dress myself in the morning without their help or some stupid law.

The individual liberty argument would have more weight if the health effects werent spilling over into society in the form of higher insurance premiums and a greater share of public dollars going to Medicare and Medicaid.
So you support more intrusive government because government has created a scenario where the public is now responsible for paying for a large portion of the public's health care. How nice. Let's punish everyone because some people don't care about themselves or take personal responsibility for their actions.
That logic is much like liberals who say that we have to make people have health care because otherwise they'll go to the emergency room. Well, who do you think wants to force hospitals to provide emergency care?
