Chrispie Clark and her Liberals would tax the air that we breathe if they thought they'd get away with it.

So, taxing something like pop isn't that big a stretch given that Gov'ts like to think for us since we're apparently far to fucking stupid to make our own decisions about self restraint and what we put in our bodies.
