I'll take, "Yet Another Regressive Tax/Stab at Social Engineering that Reams the Consumer and Seemingly Works at Cross-Purposes", for a Thousand, Alex.

    I am glad I don't drink sugary drinks EACH, anywhere.

    Except alcohol occasionally.

    Greed, of course, and extreme arrogance of a "nanny state" using tax policy to enforce morality.

    Do you agree with me, Will, that all taxes should be with an eye toward absolutely no impact on behavior?

    That my friends is both a theoretical and practical impossibility.

    Here in the potato state, every
    morsel of food is taxed. But, we privatized our legal department,
    paying $285/hr, rather than the
    previous $92/hr. And some folks
    still believe that only the gov worker feeds at the taxpayer trough. As far as sugar drinks, you preach to the choir: my plain pipe tobacco now costs $37/can.

    Not with the corruption and arrogance of those in power.
