Brian Perry writes in the Madison County Journal that the feds and other states are moving beyond cigarette taxes and looking to increase taxes on beer, soft drinks, and even candy. Coca Cola and Pepsi are the new Marlboro and Camel. And "Big Sweet" is the cause of obesity and sugar should be taxed to off-set healthcare costs.
Right on cue,
here is the leading Democratic candidate in the special House election in Meridian.
Wilbert Jones said he is in favor of taxing things like cigarettes that cause health problems. "Obesity, smoking, alcohol, the sins of our society. It is time that we tax those sins of our society."
