The article seems to be shittily written in my opinion but I figure if you watch the video (about a minute) it will get the point across.

My question lies in, do you think this will benefit the health of the people moving forward, or do you fear it being weaponized to endorse or threaten companies to comply with the mention of Kennedy being tied to its future as mentioned in the end of the article

    Right… and your comment was in reply to someone merely proposing taxes that don’t exist yet either…

      No my comment was in the frame of the. Government doesn’t pay for our bloody healthcare. If you think they do you don’t know shit about what happens here mate. We serve, slave, and bend over backward while people tell us “maybe you don’t know”.

      I’ll tell you honest. You should take that opinion to fuck the populous and kick off

        So you’re supportive of Canadian sin taxes on sugar? Obviously America is broken as shit but let’s look at a less fundamentally awful example. Canada has a (granted smaller) issue with obesity and the costs of supporting long term care for it - a sin tax on sugar that helps support the Canadian healthcare system due to the outsized costs obesity causes.
