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

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

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? |
