Is there any person who really thinks that this is the best solution for the US problems? It will only turn everyone towards diet soda, and that is certainly not good. I wonder how much will this last, I hope that someone will realize that the solution is simply ridiculous and forget about it.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('115025','Roger ZIJA'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('115025','Roger ZIJA','How can this happen?

They just want to take away all our fun. Seriously, I'm low on funds, and I need three things to keep myself sane. Soda, music and movies. Ok, I just found a website that lets me watch movies that are in the theatres, so I'll just resign myself to crappy quality. But soda and music! Damn, yo. That'll drive me crazy. I'ma starta revolution! <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('112685','The Masked Rye'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('112685','The Masked Rye','Next they're going to outlaw prostitution and pot.

You pick a time when the economy is in crisis and people are miserable to overtax the things that might provide them a little bit of an escape? People are living paycheck to paycheck and now they have to pay more for pretty much everything they do. I'm sorry but you don't tax your way out of this kind of situation. <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('112683','Vinny'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('112683','Vinny','This is exactly what I don't understand.

And even if you tax soda, taxing movie tickets?! Ok, so the economy is crap, people are out of work, but hey, let's just make it more expensive for them to get a little bit of enjoyment out of going to the movies. That's just sucky. And why is soda's tax higher than beers? That's just wrong. <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('112682','The Masked Rye'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('112682','The Masked Rye','I agree on the Niagra Falls advertising, the school lunches, the political mailings, etc. I'm fine with some of the taxing... cigarettes, alcohol, but soda?
