NJ Wants to Tax Fast Food
Apr 30, 2008 Political
An idea has been floating around New Jersey that would have people pay a sin tax on fast food. The suggestion came from a hospital association meeting as a way to help raise money for financially strapped hospitals (stop treating ILLEGALS). The interesting thing is that a spokesperson for the governor said there was no plan to tax fast food but that Governor Corzine was open to reasonable solutions to help solve financing problems.
To Democrats taxing something is a reasonable solution. They ignore the fact that people are getting soaked now because of taxes and high prices. The economy is in a slow cycle that started when Democrats took control of Congress and their answer is to tax, tax, tax.
Fast food is not a necessity so if they tax it then people should stop eating it. Take the money they save and buy food to make lunches. Skip fast food all together and pretty soon the government will get the message.
New Jersey is mismanaged and corrupt. I know people who have been victims of the corruption and who are being ruined by corrupt politicians, judges and police officers. They continue to have financial problems despite the fact they have a huge gaming industry that brings in a ton of money. The corrupt people there are unable to keep spending under control and be responsible with money.
I am absolutely certain that if they could figure out how to measure how much air we breathe they would tax that too. They would probably justify it by telling us to get in shape so we breathe less and use air more efficiently.
I can imagine the new jingle if they start taxing Big Macs:
You deserve a break today
so get up and get away
from New Jersey
Democrats: They never met a tax they didn’t hike.
