Unlike the totally sterotype Mom in the commercial below, I’m perfectly okay with taxing sodas and juice drinks. Mainly because they’re total crap, and one of the main reasons our country’s children are overweight. They are also dirt cheap.

Whenever I watch this ad and see the Mom handing her son that humungous bottle of soda while complaining about pennies… I can’t help but think her priorities are screwed up.
