Mayor Bloomberg: Tax sugary drinks

The New York Post reports on the nanny state:

The higher the fructose corn syrup, the higher the charge.

Thats Mayor Bloomberg's pitch to the beleaguered state government as it grapples with steep budget problems.

Bloomberg - who uses his office to promote a healthier lifestyle for New Yorkers - urged Albany to tax sugary drinks by one cent for each ounce in his weekly radio address this morning.

Mayor Bloomberg and other "progressives" are worried you might enjoy a sugary drink. Plus, someone has to pay for those NYC pensions. A truly great moment in Blue America.
