Take your taxes and shove 'em

Welcome to communism, New Yorkers^*.

With these new taxes on things like non-diet soda (18% at that!), the state government is essentially dictating what we eat.

They call it the obesity tax, but we all know diet soda doesn’t make you skinny. I know plenty of fatties who drink diet soda (but eat greasy doublestack burgers and other crap food).

While it won’t really hit my pocketbook much (I rarely drink soda, instead opting for the delicious tap water that NYC is privlege to), it’s the principal of the mater that really gets under my skin. Not only does it show a gross misunderstanding of why/how people gain weight, but it’s also a huge infringement on my rights to be a free-minded person who can eat and drink according to what is right for my body and my lifestyle.

So Gov. Patterson - fuck your stupid communistic laws.
