16. "Discriminatory food and beverage taxes"?? This country is Ef'd!

Talk about things that make you go "WTFO"???

Since when do "food and beverages" have individual rights under the Constitution?

Are they suggesting that...just like corporations..."food and beverages" are now people? Wait! Don't answer that...please! for the love of God, don't answer that!

Can we "lock up" and "take away the freedoms" of a bottle of Pepsi? How much "tax" does a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich pay?

When is the last time Grilled Cheese was ordered to jury duty?

How in the "eff" can you "discriminate" against "effing" food???

God, we are "effing" "hosed up more than a soup sandwich"!! Which I guess to ALEC, has the right to a speedy trial!

Shit like this just makes me say; "eff it, just let whole fucking country rot...there is nothing to save here"
