Where to stop?

So if the intent is to make us healthier, let’s tax everything. Perhaps a tax on iPods, iPads, laptop and desk top computers, the list goes on and on.  Kids are getting fat because they are not physically active. Tax everything that keeps them sitting on their butt rather than getting up and, perish the thought, work and exercise.  There is way too much government in our lives.

Help parents

Yes, I think soda should be taxed, as I think any high-sugar substance should also be taxed. … Maybe that would help parents make a decision to limit these things that hurt families.

More, more, more

They just want more money … It’s the same as taxing white bread because it’s not as healthy as wheat bread.
