A good way to cut down on obesity?

[R13]

but why do you feel the need to tax this??

why not hike up taxes on caviar and squid???

im all for it on beer and liquor and such, but not soft drinks.

i have a very simple solution that could bring the government billions of dollars EVERY YEAR,on a reliable basis:

Because we're going to have some major budget cuts, this could definitely go along way in stopping something like education like is being proposed here. I choose soda because 1) Every class of people drink it and 2) It's proven to work, also 3) it's not a wallet breaking tax, but still would bring in a significant amount of money do to the number who buy it.


We can do that too, I don't care, but this is something that nearly everyone buys..some more than other, but still. It would effect this household, even I myself drink a lot of soda, definitely more than 2 a day I'm sad to say. It's just something that would help a lot with this budget ordeal, whether it be McDonnells proposal or the Dem. Senate, there's going to be cuts...this would ease some of that.

You know how I feel about legalizing, this is more realistic here in VA though, it's a shame...but still the truth.
