The Sugar Tax

Hi,

My name is Cheri.

I heard this morning that some states want to impose a sugar tax.They want to do this because of an over wight

America,if this gets done whats (?) next,an air that we breath tax because the air on this planet is so dirty,and toxic.

We need to clean it up. Don't get me wrong,I love our country,but did we not fight the British for FREEDOM,and what

ever happened to taxation with out representation,I thought thats why our government was structured as it is.

For the people by the people(?)

Now we can't eat anything,its bad for us,we can't drink anything,its bad for you,and it will make you fat.

I for one am tired of it.Do we all not have a brain,can we not make our own conclusions.

The big brother concept is going to far.We don't need any more Government,One size fits all,B.S.

Are we loosing our grip on Free Will?

It seems we are,and moving toward communism through taxation.

We tax cigarettes, alcohol, and other harmful non-necessity items. These are just as harmful & cost taxpayers millions in healthcare costs. This has nothing to do with rights.
