Democrats want to tax SODA and JunkFood in MASS !!!

[LOWTESTOSTERONE]

Seriously,

Mass-Holes and democawks want to tax Soda and Candy and junkfood to make fat people avoid eating them- thinking it will lower obesity and healthcare costs (Mass currently has the new health care law making it illegal not to have health care and costs have skyrocketed out of control tripple what other states have experienced)

This plan will not work- fatties will still sit home on SSI collect thier government checks and gorge themselves without excercise and tax the state health care system further.

WHy are democrats alway wrong?

ANd how come these stupid idiots can't see that target tax policies never work!!!!

Yes- I am raging.

[loik]

lol they already took ALL of that **** out of brookline. WHO's NEXT!? now all i can get when im down there is ANNAS!

[adamsteve14]

Good. THey can make tax revenue from fatties. If they want to continue to eat crappy, the government will make more money.

[KindrgartenMisc]

I don't see the problem. Why aren't you complaining about cigarette taxes? Or alcohol taxes?

Taxing **** that's bad for you ftw


in b4 fat jokes about me

.............Do you guys know why we declared independence from the UK?

[jason_bh]

I think taxes should work that way in general. Get your tax revenue from the things that I buy, not from my pay check.

[Mr.Fab]

While I won't be affected by it, it is still an immoral piece of legislation. The government has no business in dictating what people can or cannot due within reason. And taxing people for eating unhealthy does not fit into the the within reason.

All this is, is a grab for cash to try and make it look like they're fixing an unbalanced budget; instead of actually fixing the budget by reducing costs.

Hopefully the people in Massachusetts will understand this, and shoot this legislation down.

What was the one good thing that came from the Cash For Clunklers Program?

Get taxed on junk food ---> stop eating junk food ---> get healthier ---> don't get diabeetus ---> live longer

[Tes45]

**** I don't really care. Politicians have been taxing the hell out of Alcohol and Tobacco for years now. Bout time they just quit raising those taxes every few months and found something new to tax.


100% fine with fast food and candy being taxed extra

due

But I digress. They aren't BANNING junk food. They're just saying "if you want to put bad **** into your body, then you might as well help offset the cost of junk food induced medical problems."

[Scottyrock]

Funny as it sounds i find this tax more acceptable than the cigarette taxes. People arent addicted to junk food they can eat something else. Where as smokers have serious side affects from trying to quit.

But taxing them for drinking unhealthily and smoking unhealthily is just fine even though obesity is just as significant of a health problem, if not more so?


Wat?

I guess it didn't also breathe new life into the domestic auto industry, and made Ford a player in the American market again?

you shouldn't be forced to live healthy if you don't want to. Here's a new law for you kindrgartenmisc: You can no longer drive your car. anywhere. You can also no longer go out into the sun. We wouldn't want you to have a car crash or die from skin cancer. Trust me, we're helping you enjoy life!! You should thank us!

wtf kind of messed up crap is that? How stupid are you? Seriously! gtfo of america.

yes raging

lolwut? How stupid are you? Nobody is saying you CAN'T eat junk food, what they're saying is if you want to, you have to pay more for it. But you still can.

reading comprehension >>>>>> your illiterate ass

............do you understand that taxes are absolutely necessary to maintain a country of over 300 million people?

..............do you understand that the federal government should NEVER have this much power? I'm perfectly fine if this were a local or state government law, but on a federal level? No.

mmmm

You are a complete idiot.

Why should my INCOME TAX be spent on medical treatment for fatties that caused their own medical problems by eating shiit food.

Instead, let them subsidize their own health issues.

Here's an analogy: If you drive a car, should I be forced to pay your insurance? Hell no. But you are saying that I should have to pay Mr. Fatty's medical bills due to his self-indulgence?

[Deckard_Cain]

..............do you understand that the federal government should NEVER have this much power?

the power to tax certain products sold within US borders?

am i getting trolled?

[adamsteve14]

Taxing crap that is bad for you is a good thing to do. It is much better than raising tax rates on healthy food, gyms, etc.

Im all about personal liberty, but if the money needs to come from somewhere then what better than booze, tobacco, and fatty food?

[TeeR4v_Gainer]

Get taxed on junk food ---> stop eating junk food ---> get healthier ---> don't get diabeetus ---> live longer

u have the personal choice to not eat or drink these things and live as long as ur body can possibly live. at the same token, in this country, u are free to pursue happiness. For some, happiness comes from drinking mountain dew and eating mcdonalds and dieing younger.

they should be able to free, without penalty, to eat and drink whatever they want.
This is why, you can not be free with gov't involved with healthcare.

all this is, is a short "quick fix" to shorten up their budget problem. But imagine if we did have UHC. can u see how every thing we eat, drink, and do can be a health issue and there for banned or taxed? freedom is out the window. In fact, you don't have to look far to find examples of a gov't in a UHC country have banned foods and drinks
