Don't tell us new tax is related to health
This so called sugar "sin" tax has really got my blood boiling. How stupid do they think the average citizen is? If this government was really so concerned with our health why then have they done nothing to curtail the use of preservatives and cancer causing ingredients in most our foods?
To that, they tell us we have the option to buy organic, why then should the same not apply to sugar? How about we tax Congress on all the ridiculous legislation they attempt to pass while hiding under the ruse that it is in one's best interest, imagine how much money this would generate. Enough with the baby-sitting.
