Will Americans give up fast food with the Health Tax


Will Americans give up fast food with the Health Tax?
The tax must be added to fast food, junk food, soda and beer. Americans have to cook for themselves like they did in the 1950's and 1960's. No more of this cheap, aorta clogging McDonald's crap and the like.

I doubt that Americans are going to allow themselves to be taxed into servitude to governments. The second American revolution has already begun!

Did Americans give up smoking when the taxes hit $5/pack? No. Did Americans give up driving when gas hit $4/gallon? No. The Tax simply reduces the behavior but doesn't stop it. Then the revenue drops from the taxes and the politicians bemoan the 'loss of revenue' and look for another behavior to tax. I think that the idea of taxing people who make choices you don't like is a form of tyranny, and betrays a hubris that the 'knowledgeable' ones know best..i.e. a ruling class. They feel entitled to tell everyone else how to live, but do not submit to the rules themselves. THAT is a form of tyranny.
