YOU WANT TO GET A GOOD LAUGH...

New York City's Mayor Bloomberg wants to tax soda because some people think its a significant contributor to obesity and bad health. Okay, so we pay a tax on soda, you can drink soda if you want to or not.

But here is the kicker...Mayor Bloomberg owns a TV station that espouses financial advice day after day after day. People lose money on much of what is said on these kinds of financial news channels.

So if soda is bad, so is inaccurate, incomplete or misleading, second to second financial commentary.

Obviously we should tax the people who watch financial TV channels because they may be harming their financial well being, just the same as soda.

No wonder we can't grow the economy.

  1. I seldom drop responses, however i did a few searching
    and wound up here "YOU WANT TO GET A GOOD LAUGH...". And I do have
    a few questions for you if you usually do not mind.
    Is it simply me or does it look as if like some of the responses appear like coming from brain dead visitors?
    :-P And, if you are posting at additional places, I would like
    to keep up with everything new you have to
    post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of your social pages like
    your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
