Are You Getting Tired of the “Progressive” Control Freaks Yet?
I’m a simple person. Since childhood, jumping in a car - just to cruise, just for a ride, just to get lost - was always a pleasant way to spend the day. Discovery of some new, out-of- the-way attraction was always a possibility; a mom and pop restaurant, an obscure local museum, a great park or a unique store. The habit to hit the road to sooth rankled nerves has continued throughout my life.
Until now. Now my fiances are not too hot and I can’t really afford to be frivolous, and thanks to the anti-progressives who have put a stranglehold on the economy with their regressive environmental global warming nightmare, I can’t afford to simply head out on a simple hundred mile jaunt when the mood strikes me.
Another simple pleasure is spending an afternoon with the grand kids topped off with a trip to Burger King or some other junk food purveyor. But that may yet be another basic enjoyment that your friendly neighborhood
The sputtering economy has caused an increase in prices of many staples including gasoline, rice, ice cream, even beer. Now some lawmakers in New Jersey are considering taking food taxes a step further and install a proverbial “sin” tax on fast food.
Yes, the idea of marking up your favorite fast food burger or pack of fries is actually being tossed around, and it’s not settling well with many residents.
“They’re taxing everything. Now you’re gonna tax fast food? That’s crazy,” said Newark resident Miriam Robertson.

Still, some say taxing fast food isn’t such a bad idea.“I think this country has gone too much in the direction of fast and unhealthy food, and if people are taxed they may terminate that and turn toward more healthy foods,” said West Orange resident Maureen Felix. (Source)
No Maureen , if people are taxed, some may just turn around and “terminate” budding nazis like you.

Tired of them earlier, tired of them now and like a hell of a lot of other people, I’m tired of being tired of them at all. Prepare to get rid of TransNational traitorous Bastards, whatever it legally takes, from within our societies.
I’m with ya Flanders, I am most certainly with you….
Considering that the Left is supposed to be the party of the working class and the poor, this is a direct hit at their supposed constituency! It’s well-known that it’s not the wealthy who dine at the local burger joint so much as the everyday person. This is going to be just one more hit at those the Left is supposedly all for protecting. What we are looking at is aristocracy vs. the common man once again.
Spot on Aurora, i often say when you find the left on your side, get worried, cos one way or another you’re getting screwed. They don’t like cars much either, that ‘hundred mile jaunt’, big no-no, so much C02 and that freedom from prying eyes, makes em’ very uncomfortable.
Did the aristocracy of old at least have the decency not to feign “compassion”? As I’ve read from you elsewhere Aurora, the self-mad man has no place in their rigid world.
Well MK, they are gonna have to pry my gun from one dead hand and my steering wheel from the other.
