Guess who said this, and what “this epidemic” is:
“with so many poor neighborhoods suffering the worst of this epidemic… it would be irresponsible not to,” he said.
“People are dying every day. This is not a joke,” he said. “We’re talking about lives versus profits.”

Barack Obama on why we must stop violent, inner-city drug gangs in Chicago.
Just kidding.
It’s Mayor Bloomberg trying to use obesity to justify his attempted ban on serving soda in containers larger than 16 ounces.
So… did you get it right?
He is obsessed with reducing their carbonated footprint.
He should by rights have run for governor of Mini-soda.
Poor Bloomberg. Unfortunately, fat people can lose weight, but he’ll always be stupid.
Simple economics: When you buy in quantity, you pay less per unit.
-Therefore, if/when the government can find a way to regulate that people buy any product in smaller quantities it will force those people to pay more per unit, which will increase tax revenue on the product.
-If the government can make the people willingly buy in smaller quantities under the auspices of “concern for their health”, it can disguise the fact that the government’s concern is really about raising more tax revenue.
Perhaps the”Occupy Wall St” and ardent Liberal supporters of he who believes “it would be irresponsible not to” have the government regulate the size of a soda, should peek behind the curtain and ask where this little man got all of his power.
Hard to feel sorry for the marxists of newyork. They live such meaningless lives.
The tyranny of marxism is that they want to tell me that I can’t have soda, a comfortable car, salt, tobacco, french fries, bacon, working lightbulbs, working toilets, firearms, and that I can’t use my land the way I want to, yet they want me to provide birth control, drugs, and food to them. Yet if point out to them that lincoln outlawed slavery, they will go all ape on you and screech and gnash. Although gnashing may be a great form of communist, I mean green energy.
