From the article:
Taxing soda and other sugary beverages is proposed as a way to show how much Uncle Sam loves us. But if he really cares, wouldn’t he also tax ice cream and cake and cookies and pies and lots more sugary stuff?
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the revenue go up.
A Connecticut Congresswoman wants to save you from yourself, with a one-cent tax on every spoonful of sugar put into beverages. The tax would be plowed back into programs to combat diabetes and tooth decay and things like that, says Rosa DeLauro.
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
