I guess I'm done with MensHealth Magazine. I'm not going to cancel my subscription, but when this runs out I won't be renewing. I have subscribed to that magazine for over 10 years now, but in the last few months it has become a liberal propaganda rag for Obama policies.
They have written articles in favor of government controlled health care in this country and turned their back on the possibility of removing state roadblocks to more interstate competition among health insurers. Last month, I read a long article touting the virtues on the French health care system.
But this month, in the editors preface page, he is positively giddy over the fact that he proposed a tax on sugary sweet foods under the guise of helping America regulate their diets.
Have so many Americans lost their minds that they want the government trampling on our freedoms to make choices...any choices?
Why not pass legislation banning sugar and high fructose corn syrup in manufactured foods?
Are we going to have the kitchen police now? Are they going to march four abreast into your kitchen to check your cannisters and cupboards for sugar or syrup?
Where does this madness stop?
Have Americans gotten so simple and dull witted that we need our government in Washington legislating what we eat?
And what about the impact to the sugar industry and the corn growers? Is Obama willing to add even more people to his unemployment casualty roll in favor of more regulation and tax?
I don't know about you all, but the willingness of people to call on the government to take more control over us is just scary.

In some ways I agree that the government gets into things and just messes stuff up but why don't you also complain about all of the subsidies the government gives to the corporations, farming, etc. We have way more corporate welfare than people welfare. And, since the government's job is protection and safety, why are you so against the government sometimes having to protect against things other than bombs.
Thank you, Ann. That is my point exactly. The government keeps taking the money we earn just to give it to other people. It really ought to be outlawed altogether.
Now, that's an interesting idea! I'll have to think about that. I mean altogether is pretty complete.
Seriously. Why do we who work for a living have to bail out people or companies or farmers? Why does the government take from us to only to give it to the guys who screwed up their own affairs for whatever reason?
It's not charity because it is coerced under penalty of imprisonment for not paying taxes. It is forced redistribution of wealth and we are on that slippery slope right now. Where does it stop and how do we stop it? Where do you draw the line that should have been drawn decades ago?
When you talk about redistribution of wealth do you mean in both directions, i.e. both taking our tax dollars and funneling it to the wealthiest as well as to the poor? I do feel like the working middle class is getting squeezed out of existence.
Yes my dear. That is exactly what I am talking about. Obama is a radical leftist and an elitist who believes that they are better at managing our lives and money than we are. You are never as careful with other people's money as you are with your own. As soon as they can decide that one person has enough and the rest should go to another for whatever reason, they cease to be public servants and become public masters.
Well, I don't think he's that powerful actually. What about the other 535 federal people who have screwed us over time and time again.
By the way, saw your advertisement in the newspaper. Way cool you two!
