Meanwhile - in New York City
Oh Brother! Big Brother, that is.
I don't like this at all...
I don't like this at all...
Bob Lonsberry writes this and more on his website:
"The obesity tax must be resisted.
While the need to balance the New York budget is real, the obesity tax isn’t about money, it is about freedom. A regular tax wants to take away your money, this tax wants to take away your choice.
It wants to put the latest political correctness in charge of your family food budget, it wants to change the basic American budget, and in the name of “helping” people, it wants to suck off a share of their food budget.
The government will put heavy taxes on the foods people eat – and which have made Americans the biggest, strongest and healthiest people on Earth – and claim that it is doing those people a favor.
It enriches government, empowers the crazy environmental vegans, and kills freedom. It is a dream come true for the big government types.
But it is fundamentally un-American."
