I'm sorry, President, but taxing soda is not going to make people drink less of it. That's just stupid.

sucks for soda companies
If they stopped spending our tax dollars on worthless shit, then they wouldn't have to tax us more, especially on soda...

Yeah! Totally worthless shit like a war in Iraq that failed miserably.
But I digress. I can't but take this assault on soda personally. It's like the federal government is trying to take away everything I love in life. Back in June, Obama banned the sale of my clove cigarettes, so I switched to Mountain Dew to drown my sorrows; now it looks like the money I've saved on cigarettes may have to pay for my Dew habit. Seriously, WTF?
smoke menthols and drink malt liquor

Agreed on the ineffectiveness.
I'm pretty much indifferent to this since I rarely drink soda. Water, juice, and tea =
.
Good thing I don't drink soda often but I wonder what's next to tax after soda?
Genius...
