“There’s an Easy Way to Reduce Unemployment and Obesity, But Liberals Will HATE It
by Gary DeMar
January 8, 2014
The Huffington Post claims that it has found a way to reduce obesity—raise taxes on sugar, salt, and fat (Of course, the Left loves taxes being raised!—my addition). ‘A simple tax could be a big tool in ending America’s obesity epidemic. Adding a 20-percent tax on sugar would cut Americans’ total caloric intake by 18 percent and reduce sugar consumption by more than 16 percent, according to a new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research. Taxes on fat and salt would help, too, cutting total calories by an estimated 19 percent and 10 percent, respectively, according to the study.’
The title of the article is ‘There's An Easy Way To Fight Obesity, But Conservatives Will HATE It (Any unintended consequences? Even more eating to compensate for the lost of that which is enjoyed by the consumer?—my addition).’
These people are insane, but you already knew that.
If taxing something reduces a particular behavior, then why not tax unemployment? Why not tax able-bodied people for every day they don’t work. If taxes are a disincentive for a certain type of unapproved behavior, then taxing non-workers should give them special motivation to work (And taxing illegal behaviors will bring down that illegal behavior! The magical cure is increased taxation! Who knew? All these centuries and no one knew of this magic bullet cure! If a behavior is deemed bad, tax it! —my addition).
If liberals want to fight obesity, and taxes are the way to do that, then let’s just tax fat people. Why should people who are not fat and like to eat sweets be made to pay for people who can’t control their appetites? Don’t blame the sugar.
Instead, Congress passes laws to extend unemployment benefits for non-work and may even grant disability to people who can’t work because they are obese. In a counter productive move, liberals raise the tax on the employed to pay for the unemployed, women who have babies out of wedlock, and a whole host of other unproductive behaviors. It makes absolutely no sense . . . unless you’re a liberal.
Liberals have never met a tax they didn’t like. Liberals believe that taxes should be designed to punish. The most productive people in society should be punished for ‘income inequality.’ The new Marxist mayor of New York ran on this premise (It is State sanctioned stealing and Democrats are skilled at it!—my addition).
In reality, lower tax rates benefit everybody and income inequality is lessened. The most productive will spend more, save more, and invest more. This then lowers the cost of money, increases the availability of money, with the result that more people are needed to work.
Cigarette taxes are the perfect example of how taxes are counter productive. By increasing the tax on tobacco products, the goal (we’re told) is to stop people from smoking and thus lower healthcare costs. High taxes have only created a black market for cigarettes and reduced tax revenue as this report shows:
‘Massachusetts is losing between $74 million and $295 million a year due to people illegally avoiding paying taxes on cigarettes, according to new information provided to the state’s Illegal Tobacco Commission.
‘When the state increased its tobacco taxes in July from $2.51 to $3.51 a pack, the increase gave Massachusetts the distinction of having the second-highest cigarette excise tax in the country, after New York. The state, like many others, relies on cigarette taxes to both generate revenue and discourage smoking (Which are contradictory goals. If raising taxes is to stop smoking, then stopping smoking will decrease the amount of taxes collected!—my addition).’
It won’t be too long before liberals want to tax certain types of speech and media because they deem them harmful. They have proposals to tax ammunition. While the Second Amendment states that we have a ‘right to bear arms,’ it doesn’t say anything about ammunition (They are congruent and the writers of the Amendment understood that to be the case!—my addition).
George Harrison got it right when he wrote ‘Tax Man’:
Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman
Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
‘Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman
(If you drive a car car) I’ll tax the street
(If you try to sit sit) I’ll tax your seat
(If you get too cold cold) I’ll tax the heat
(If you take a walk walk) I’ll tax your feet
‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman
Don’t ask me what I want it for
If you don’t want to pay some more
‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman
If you get a head head, I’ll tax your hat
If you get a pet, I’ll tax your cat
If you wipe your feet, I'll tax your mat
If you’re overweight, I’ll tax your fat
Now my advice to those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
And you’re working for no one, but me
Yes, I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman”
What they really want is money, power, and control. They achieve these goals in part by taxing the people!

This is my two part suggestion to Tea Party groups, social conservatives, Constitutionalists, and anyone else who wants to save our Republic from the approaching destruction.
1) Run as many conservative candidates in as many Republican primaries as possible.
2) Then, run as many independent and/or third party candidates as possible in as many races as possible where we did not win the primary.
That is why I am working to get the Constitution Party on the ballot in Texas. If we get on the ballot, we will have two Congressional House candidates running and two State candidates running. Getting on the ballot is the first step. Winning elections is the second. Winning elections will grow the Party. The Constitution Party is much more in line with the Tea Party movement than is the Republican Party. And I have been involved with all three!

If elected to Congress, I will not, under any circumstances, vote for present Speaker of the House John Boehner to be Speaker of the House. I call on every Republican primary candidate running in Texas Congressional District 19 to publicly (in writing) make the same pledge. It would not be a bad idea for every Republican candidate running for the House of Representatives to give the same pledge. See my post at http://christiangunslinger3.blogspot.com on December 16, 2013 entitled “Speaker of the House John Boehner Attacks the Tea Party Again for Being Fiscally Responsible!”

If I am elected to the House, I will use the Constitution, as written, to do everything in my power to stop judicial tyranny! Will the other candidates pledge the same? I know our present Representative has NOT done everything possible to stop judicial tyranny! Why is that?

Competition is good for the economy and competition is good for the Republican Party!!! Competition keeps Congressmen committed to we the people!!! Primary Republicans who do not support the Constitution as written.
