The ever-expanding and meddling state is at it again. Soon, they will control all aspects of our lives, just as George Orwell wrote in 1984. Amazingly, the war on the fat, which began recently, continues with a possible obesity tax. As reported in the Financial Times (courtesy of prudentbear.com):
New York state could impose an “obesity tax” on high-calorie soft drinks such as non-diet versions of Coke and Pepsi as public concerns over obesity turn potentially fattening foods into a politically acceptable target for taxation.
Soon nothing will be safe from the clutches of the state. That's one reason why I fight it and wear my Albert Jay Nock t-shirt (purchased from the Mises Institute) which bears the slogan: "Our enemy the state."
