buttermilk and moonbeams

Ever wonder why some folks have a thing for taxing stuff? From cigarettes to Budweiser to your drinking water, it’s all about floating a government of diminishing returns.

And now they want to go after soda pop because it makes people fat.

Of course, everything edible has the potential to expand the ole waistline. How about simply taxing calories? Then only skinny people could afford SUVs, which would be taxed at the highest rate.

Or better yet – Why not quit subsidizing industrial agribusiness and let real farmers put real food on America’s table.

Pass the cornbread.
