This time they have gone too far !!!

The One now wants to tax beer to pay for health care.

Joe Six-Pack may have to hand over nearly $2 more for a case of beer to help provide health insurance for all.

Details of the proposed beer tax are described in a Senate Finance Committee document distributed to lawmakers before a closed-door meeting Wednesday. Senators are focusing on how to pay for expanding health insurance for an estimated 50 million uninsured Americans, a cost that could range to some $1.5 trillion over 10 years.

You can't raise that from beer money alone.

Nope. Try as we might, we simply can't drink enough beer to ring up $1.5 trillion in taxes -- even in our college days we couldn't; but we would have been willing to give it a go out of patriotism.

Not to fear, Barry will also tax wines and soda.

Taxes on wine and hard liquor would also go up.

And there might be a new tax on soda and other sugary drinks blamed for contributing to obesity. A tax of 3 cents per 12-ounce drink would raise about $50 billion over 10 years, according to congressional estimates. Diet drinks, however, wouldn't be taxed.

But what should be most unsettling is the philosophy behind these tax hikes: "The idea behind the proposed increases is to tax lifestyle choices that contribute to rising medical costs." Personal liberty continues to be eroded at an ever increasing rate to ensure compliance with a socially accepted lifestyle. If you think political correctness has severely limited free speech, you haven't seen anything yet because it will pale in comparison to the limitations on lifestyle imposed by the nanny state. And remember, this will be for your own good because the elites know better than you.
