(Illinois Policy Institute). An Illinois lawmaker wants to tax soft drinks as part of an effort to "promote healthy living."
This is all about taxing the other guy. If you are going to tax consumption, it must be done even-handedly across the economy, not simply taxing things you don't like. It's not a stable tax regimen, because if everyone stopped drinking soft drinks, you get no revenue.
(Illinois Policy Institute). James Pethokoukis: "So we lose maybe 500,000 jobs (the first rung for many on the upward mobility ladder) for an anti-poverty policy where half the benefits go to families whose income is three times the poverty threshold or more (see above chart). This does not sound like optimal anti-poverty policy to me."
We should not be subsidizing WalMart workers with food stamps or other forms of welfare.
Idiotic talking point. We are not subsidizing WalMart. Subsidizing means WalMart is paying less than market wages. WalMart would be forced to pay above-market wages to meet your standard--unlikely. If you had a modicum of knowledge of history, you'll know that wages increased before there ever was a minimum wage.Political Humor

Patti LaBelle, "If You Ask To". Yes, I know Celine had a major remake, but I love the original. My inner record producer sees a blue-eyed soul performance, perhaps hearing ice cubes clinking against a glass as he sips a drink.
