Healthcare Costs Too Much so Gov't to Tax Soda

This is so BACKWARDS I don’t even know where to begin.

Even the below average student in a community college economics class learns that tax is a complete pass through cost to the consumer. It is passed through by the business selling the good/service that is being taxed.

The reason I bring this up is because one “ideas” being toyed with in Congress the taxing of SODA! Ok, so Coca Cola raises the price of a 2 liter by 3 cents, so what?

When I already pay 10% of my paycheck to a program I will NEVER benefit from (social security) and then I have to pay more taxes to just drink a coke? That is insane.

Plus, I DO NOT want Uncle Sam telling me what kind of health care I can have, what quality I can have, how much I pay, or even if I am able to receive health care. Veterans, those people who have put their lives on the line so that I can enjoy freedoms such as expressing my frustrations of our Gov’t, cannot get proper health care. What can Gov’t possibly promise to convince me that I will get proper and just health care?

The answer is NOTHING.

Hey Congress!! Get out of my Doctor’s office, get out of my Dentist’s office, get out of my Emergency Room!

Capitalism works! Try it.
