These guys are so creative when it comesw to taxes. Too bad they aren't as
creative when it comes to saving.

Today's debate: taxing soft drinks.

I think if they could tax air, they would.

George Harrison nailed their kind in 1966.

"If you drive a car, I'll tax the street"
"If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat"
"If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat"
"If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet"

Since CO2 is now a pollutant, and humans exhale CO2, are we going to need
ration cards to breathe someday with this bunch of monkey-stretchers?

The reason would make sense if it actually worked (taxing to
make people lose weight) but the high cigarette taxes to get people
to stop smoking didn't work either.

I drink WAAAAY to much Pepsi. Paying more for it won't change that.

Hey! How are you doing?

Didn't make me stop smoking, opnly pissed me off that a pound of RYO
tobacco went from $18 to SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS OVERNIGHT! (Mass piled their
special tax on the same day...I think they tried to figure out how many
cartons you could roll with a pound and came up with 50...)

Luckily, NH is on my 'route' and it's only $35 there. Electronic cigs are
$22 and last for about three weeks, with spare parts costing the
equivalent of two packs of Mass cigs. Now that I have my 'arsenal', made
my own power unit that plugs into my lighter socket, and have enough juice
for 2 months, 'smoking' is hardly costing anything! And I can BREATHE
again!

Now, let's see if we can get you a formula for Pepsi...
