Special K Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 yeah, cans, and usually only 10 or 11 ounces, By the time they get warm at the bottom I dump them out.~Bang Wait, how does that **** get warm? The rate you must be going through seems way too fast for them to get warm, lol. You'd probably save time and hassle just getting and IV infusion of that stuff...

GibbsFactor Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 lol my point! the only "healthy" thing is water, so tex everything else too! Actually, the only healthy thing is distilled water. Minerals in every other H2O source will clog your arteries over time. Why can't we just be free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKSkinsFan Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Lower income taxes, raise taxes elsewhere, it's the old car salesman trick. If you want so much for a trade in on your car, they make it what you want, then adjust the interest rate on your new loan so you pay the same.

armstrong001 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 You're right, people will ***** no matter what.Of course they need to quit wasteful spending, but we're in a fix, no? we need to do something, and the plan is in place. Now we have to pay for it. No, we DON'T have to do something. There is no justification for forcing indebtedness of some to others merely by their existance. Some people will get sick and die. And? People die all the time. Life sucks. They could double our property taxes, or they could hit us with something huge, or they could bleed a few extra pennies from a lot of sources to generate some much needed money in fast order. Or they could not do this and save everyone a load of money. Our choice.We can cry and complain til everyone is broke and our whole system shuts down, or we can try to fix this. When you make a mess, cleaning it up is never easy. And we've made a hell of a mess. Or we can go along with this and everyone is broke and our whole system shuts down. Making a mess doesn't justify making a bigger mess. f 3 cents per soda is too much of a cross to bear, drink juice. Use water fountains. Bottle it out of your tap.I drink a HELL of a lot of soda. Probably 8-10 diet pepsi's a day. For me that will run about an extra 9 bucks per month. Oh no! I'm never going to be able to get mama her operation now! ~Bang Juice has sugar in it too. How long until they tax that? How long until this bloated system requires a dollar tax per soda to compensate for the cost overruns? When's the last time you've seen a government project actually cost what it is projected to cost? BTW, since you drink diet pepsi, you won't be taxed.

PleaseBlitz Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 They need to find a way to tax not exercising. Edit: I dont drink soda, so i dont really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armstrong001 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Because we all pay for him to eat and drink himself to death. Then stop paying for him. If he wants to go down that road, his choice. Not mine. I will not have all the responsibility to pay for his choices while he has all the rights to make them. Again, we are already paying for other people's health care. Y"ou see it in the increase in private insurance premiums, increased deductibles, our taxes supporting Medicaid...that's all going to offset costs of OTHER patients. Then the choice is to stop paying. Not to pay more. This is throwing good money after bad. People who are truely sick and cannot afford care have traditionally sought out charities for help. I have no problem donating to charities that help unfortunate people. But that is my choice. It is not a debt forced on me through no fault of my own.

Thiebear Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Vitamin Water: bottle contains about 32.5 grams of sugar.... They will tax Gyms next as a large portion of injuries happen in "Gyms". They will tax Soccer Fields/Football/Lacrosse due to all the injuries. take out taxi: Extra 30% for not even getting off your ass to go to the store. Once the government randomly gets to pick and chose what companies they wish to succeed or fail based on pricing. (See 7$ a pack of cigs). Must be interstate commerce Might need to tax the hell out of the below. Outdoor injuries Nearly 26 percent of the injures were from snowboarding followed by sledding (11 percent); hiking (6 percent); mountain biking, personal watercraft, water skiing or tubing (4 percent); fishing (3 percent) and swimming (2 percent). Would need to get a Univeral Heath care card to RUN/Jog as that is a killer on the costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingGibbs Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Glad I quit drinking the stuff so it doesn't affect me. Personally, I'm all for taxing anything that's detrimental to health and makes our health care costly, especially cigarettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm all for taxing anything that's detrimental to health and makes our health care costly, especially cigarettes. You know what makes healthcare costly? Lack of preventative maintenance, more so than the food that you eat. Add big brother on top and it's sure as hell going to be expensive. This is just another thing that the government can tax because enough people enjoy it to make it worthwhile. If all of a sudden rutabaga became a huge fad and people started eating it in the bucket loads, the government would tax that too. 1.1+ Trillion dollars in debt and massive social spending doesn't pay for itself.
