"Big Brother is watching and taxing at his whim and our favorite nasty habit -- sweet tea, french fries, chocolate, Starbucks lattes, you name it -- could be the next thing on the list!"

 

Well, obviously, from the latest Drudge Report link to a report from CBS, I was right. So, what is our new favorite "bad thing" to get taxed? Soda. Because taxing it might combat obesity. I will admit that 3 cents is nothing compared to the 298% tax increase on tobacco but still it is a tax based on a legal substance that the government is not willing to make illegal. Therefore, it is a discriminatory tax based on what the GOVERNMENT deems is or isn't healthy for you.

We should all really consider whether or not this is how we want to live, with Big Brother telling us what's good for us. Do you not see the roads this leads us down, especially when they take finally over our health care?

Be afraid... be very afraid... or take a stand. It's up to you!

In Christ,
