They want to tax it because it's bad for you. So will liberals tax ass sex given how "good" for you it is?

Aren't you a liberal? Your people want this. Are you then opposed to what your group wants?

I wish it was. That way me and the homies could hand out polio blankets to native liberals.

Good idea to tax it. The stuff will kill you. The diabetes problem in the US is out of control.

None of which is any of your business. I'm type 2 diabetic and wasn't because I ate too much sugar. Let me guess, it's the unhealthy ones that cost the collective too much for not being perfect?

Well I made it my business. I happen to care if more people become slaves to the pharmaceutical companies. This is just like cigarettes. Taxing it will help to defray the medical costs and pay for education.

I have type 2 diabetes because it runs in my family. I got old and it caught up.

The left is always trying to force people into their ideal behavior. There is nothing surprising about this.

Pretty sure eating sugar in your diet constantly would make it worse.

We all know how repubs never want anyone in society to bend to their will, or the churches.

Never said they didn't, but I guarantee you none of them will be introducing a sugar tax to combat Diabetes.

No they will use the tax on something else.

Like 90% of the cost of a pack of cigs is taxes. If taxing unhealthy things reduces their usage go ahead. While we're at it, let's tax gas the same amount we tax tobacco.
