Here's Something To Leave a Sour Taste in Your Mouth

I remember once hearing Libertarian news correspondentĀ  Tucker Carlson comment that most people will never be Libertarians because they like using the guns of government to get what they want. Latest case in point: It seems that the vast majority of sheeple (76%) who I live with in Nazi York City approve of a tax on sugar-laden drinks. They are also happy (77%) that Mayor Adolf Bloomberg is pushing eateries to cut back on the use of salt. (As I've mentioned before, soon "pushing" will evolve into forcing.)

But, of course, I'm wrong. The new sugar tax will certainly result in the decrease of people indulging in their favorite sweet drinks. After all, we've had decades of rising taxes on packs of cigarettes which have resulted in almost nobody smoking cigarettes anymore. (Let's not even mention the illegality of recreational drugs which has made drug use all but disappear from our country.)
