Obama or Not, Fast Food = Fast Calories

Ah, we see the Obama administration is thinking of taxing fast-food restaurants (probably the only restaurants most of us can afford any more) and soda since they're bad for us.

"Soda is clearly one of the most harmful products in the food supply, and it's something government should discourage the consumption of," says Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Public Interests.



Mr. Jacobsen, you are grossly mistaken, ignoring the drink that most Americans pay approximately $200/month for drinks that contains ammonia, arsenic, fecal coliform, E Coli, barium, chloride, mercury, nitrite, phenolics, silver, cyanide and perchlorate (rocket fuel) - our drinking water which your EPA refuses to acknowledge as detrimental to our health. But it's big business that's doing this to our water, and Mr. President doesn't mess with big business - he is, after all, one of them. Rather than putting so much mental energy into healthcare reform, how about clean up the mess that is making us all sick? But if we got better, that would hurt the insurance and pharmaceutical companies (who invest billions in the tobacco industry), and we can't have that now, can we?



Mr. Obama had the audacity to ask the American public if we've seen the price of arugula at Whole Foods lately.



1. Whole Foods is a racket with slim choosings of true Organic produce and meats. Nice of you to promote them, but who, Mr. Obama, can afford to shop at Whole Foods besides yourself (now)?



3. Mr. Obama, we shouldn't HAVE to shop at Whole Foods for produce and meats that won't kill us. Why don't you tackle the likes of Monsanto and Con Agra who have poisoned our food supplies and tainted our meats with hormones and antibiotics (Oestradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone, rgBH, Zeranol, Trenbolone, Melengestrol, Synercid, quinupristin-dalfopristin, tetracycline, flouroquine, Cipro, Baytril, and estrogens) that cause obesity, immune disorders, resistance to antibiotics, premature puberty, pre-pubertal gynecomastia (Google it), autism, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, cognitive disorders, diabetes, hypothyroidism, uterine cancer, sudden infant death syndrome, brain disease, and poisoned our ground and waters they so zealously use in their pesticides that are absorbed into the fruits and vegetables we get at our neighborhood supermarket, instead of soda? How about tacklling the "Big Dogs" instead of staying on the porch playing Mama Obama hiding behind Hillary Clinton's skirts and worrying about McDonalds and Soda?



Wanna tax something? Tax This:



1. Tax plastic surgery – you know, the tummy tucks, facelifts, breast implants, liposuction, microdermabrasion….all things the rich can afford and is a cash only market. No insurance involved. Lots of money to be made from that, especially from Hollywood. Let them start paying some taxes for a change since we’ve been paying their way and padding their wallets for centuries. You think Oprah would let you do this? Ask her, would you?



2. Tax prime cuts of beef. Yup, beef, if you're so concerned about our health. Your filet mignons, your pricey beef that the middle class cannot afford - let it kill you and not us. You want to eat high on the hog? Tax 'em. Why are you playing with soda and McDonalds when you can go for the gold?



3. How about taxing Manicures and Pedicures? You think this is a joke? The area where I live has approximately 14 nail salons in a 5-mile radius, and their shops are booming. You said you're concerned about our health? Have you done your homework about the number of infections, diseases and nail fungii that these people get from these places? Tax 'em, Mr. Obama. It is a luxury, and it is one booming business in the US. Why worry about soda when your young American women that voted you into office will without a blink pay another dollar or two at these filthy places - tax 'em. Another all cash business and another luxury that you missed.

4. Instead of taking from the Medicare system and lowering the standards of service for the elderly who changed your diapers, fed you, clothed you, faught in numerous wars (that you did not) and worked their fingers to the bones from *nothing* without Government assistance - LEGALLY - to give you this “entitled” life and freedom you're trying to take away from us, tax BABIES. Yup, babies. Think of how much money they will cost the healthcare system in a lifetime, unlike a Senior Citizen who may only have 10-20 more years left in them. The more babies, the more tax on them. No exclusions for the poor. Maybe if you start taxing babies they’ll start having less of them. Set a number - two, three - after which walks in the Baby Tax. Wanna have a bunch of kids? Great, but you pay MORE taxes, not less. You've got it all backwards, Mr. Obama. Tax credits should go to those who chose some restraint and live within their means, not to those looking for a security blanket in the Federal Government.

5. Tax people who stay up after midnight. That’s not good for you, either. Less than 8 hours sleep can cause hypertension, cognitive disorders, depression, mania, heart disease, poor work performance, slow reaction time and a wide array of other disorders. Mama Obama can have the electric companies monitor who runs their lights after midnight and they get taxed extra, unlike those of us who don’t drink soda or smoke or have 20 babies – we go to bed on time – why should we have to pay for the health costs and pick up the slack for those that don’t? Yup – tax electricity that is in excess after midnight – will bring down health insurance costs and teach you yunguns how to take care of yourself like Mom always told you. And help with Global Warming, too.

6. Double tax all-you-can-eat buffets. Enough said.

7. Tax the *wazoo* off big blue and white Boeing 747s that routinetly do publicity photo shoots and beer runs.

8. Tax parents whose kids who were never taught the concept and reason for "Time Outs" by the time they reach Kindergarden. Have Educational Testing Service develop a Functional Behavioral Assessment Test for students entering Kindergarten, and tax the Parents of the kids that fail.

9. Tax credits to parents who will give the above kids a swat on the rear.

10. Tax expectant Parents who have not participated in a "Nutrition 101" course prior to giving birth.

11. Tax the Baby Food and formula manufacturers up the wazoo until they successfully complete a remedial "Carcinogen 101" course (at their own expense).

11. Tax ALL school board members who refuse to mandate Physical Education, Nutrition and Home Economics courses.

11. Tax Congress, the President, the Governors, the Mayors, the EPA, USDA and the FDA for not having participated in a "Nutrition 101", "Environmental Impact 101" and a remedial "Fidelity" course prior to taking office (and I don't mean the bank).

Lastly, tax those that don’t take their multivitamins daily. We do, so why should we have to pay the same taxes as those that don’t have time or sense to take care of themselves or eat right?

Remember that video that came out prior to the Primaries about Hillary Clinton standing in front of a stadium full of zombies vaguely resembling Communism? Well, that’s exactly what we’ve got on our hands now, my friends, except it’s her separated at birth twin.

And the majority voted for them. Would you like cheese with your whine?
