Do you think sugar should be taxed?
I just read that "many in the political class now want to tax you for consuming the very same sugar that your taxes already helped subsidize."
In this day when obesity is epidemic what are your thoughts on this? Should the government be involved in telling us what to eat when they don't even provide medical care to all its citizens?Or is it even the responsibility of our government to provide health care? What exactly should the individual take responsibility for? Are we adults who want to take responsibility for our own choices or do you want Uncle Sam treating you like a child that doesn't know how to make good choices on your own? Can we? Look at us!

There about a dozen counties which enacted a sugar/soda tax, intended to reduce obesity. It is seen as being similar to tobacco user tax. Denmark had such a tax for several decades, but repealed it because, once the EU had formed, people were able to easily buy sugary drinks tax-free in nearby countries.
