Comment Re:It's not a tax, it's an improvement (Score 1) 842

I wouldn't say it's a complete play on "poor" people. The main problem with being poor is that the cheapest foods typically have a higher sugar content. This includes soda which the poor practically live on. I am all for educating them and trying to get them to spend their money on "healthier" alternatives. Majority of poor/low income families live in a city. City water, while it's usually cheap, is horrendous tasting in most places and until you drink it daily, you won't know why they would rather have a soda which is surprisingly cheaper than bottled water...

While I don't disagree with you points about the FDA-Bullshit and it's ability to fail tremendously the past 5 years, I really think you're off-base completely one-siding it to a "Republican" problem. It's an American problem, which includes the Dems, Repubs, Greens or whatever-you-have-it. The real problem is that both sides know you will "fight" for a side so that you keep ignoring the transfer of power from citizens to that of boards and cronies of the elected few.
