It was just a matter of time. Here we have the I.R.S. running around targeting conservative groups and individuals for tax audits, denying due process to applicants for exempt status, partying high on the taxpayer's dollar, sounding more and more like storm troopers every day. Now, we're putting them in charge of the ObamaCare National Bank. This is like throwing gasoline onto the fire.
Well, some jackass has decided to take it one step further. The elite liberal government has determined that we are too fat. Never mind the fact that we are living longer than we ever have, we are too fat. Some obscure bureaucrat in Kathleen Sibelius' basement has computed a finite point for every American as to what is NOT too fat. It's only natural then, that the IRS should find a way to tax that extra weight in the "best interests of national health."
The proposal is that sugary foods and beverages, foods with high calorie counts, fatty foods, fried foods and anything else deemed to be likely to make you gain weight shall be taxed at a premium rate. So, a diet cola may cost you 40 cents but a regular cola would cost you $1.40. Processed meats, such as hot dogs, would cost you an arm, a leg and then some.
And these contrite, condescending bastards look at you with such smiling faces, patting you lightly on the head while telling you how much happier you are going to be.
I don't know about you, but I have no intentions of being nice and polite, part of the silent majority anymore. I've had enough.
