In a complete surprise, Barack Obama is open to a new tax on consumption of soda and other sugary drinks. (Link to story here.) Actually, of course, it is no surprise at all. None of us should be surprised that a liberal Democrat stands ready and willing to raise your taxes. The fact that doing so could take a swipe at your freedom to drink what you want to drink is an added bonus. Dealing a blow to American businesses, like Coca-Cola and Pepsico . . . well, that's icing on the cake.
Democrats like to yell and scream about keeping government "out of the bedroom." How about keeping it out of our refrigerators!
