A tax on soda? I need a diet Coke just thinking about it!

The Obamas are skinny, but are they mean?

In a twisted plan of evil genius, heathcare reformers are suggesting we pay for the new plan, made necessary by the growing obesity epidemic in the US, by getting the money from one prime source of the problem.

Tax soda pop.

Based on anti-smoking campaigns, the proposed tax is a drastic measure targeted at getting the attention of a stubborn nation.

As one expert put it:

“Obesity is a major health problem that’s getting worse, and it’s clear that exhorting individuals to eat less and exercise more is not going to turn things around.”

Apparently, the words “complete lack of self-discipline” should be added to our nation’s anthem.
