Where does this guy get off telling us how to live our lives? And worst of all, using taxes as a way to socially engineer his own lifestyle choices on us. As a billionaire he can afford to pay any tax thrown at him, and furthermore afford to drink artisan teas, waters, and wine. The arrogance among rich, idealistic liberal elites is astounding.

They are called "Limousine Liberals". Like an STD, they are hard to get rid of.

Animals who can only interact with their neighbors by using force and aggression against them to impose their will are called "liberals" (and "conservatives") in America. All of them should be thrown into the ground as the anti-human anti-freedom violent animal criminals that they are. Either form voluntary peaceful agreements or receive the harshest possible moral retaliatory force. People like him should have their rotting flesh hanging from lightposts for all of the other would-be tyrants and thugs to smell...

When your lifestyle affects us all adversely, then someone needs to intervene. And I'm talking about health insurance.

The govt gets the tax proceeds, not the insurers. See the flaw in your argument now?

Hello no. The delusional evil thugs in this society think that they are "noble" when they use aggression and violence against their neighbor to impose their will upon them. They think they are doing "good" when they use the jack-booted government thugs to violently coerce their neighbors to live as they want them to. They believe themselves to be Divine and superior to all of the lowly mere human beings...

I am not talking about any tax proceeds. Not my point at all. You want to drink gallons of soda each day, then you would probably become obese with other health problems. I don't want everyone's insurance rates to increase because you can't handle your health. What were you saying about my flaw? Sorry, you didn't understand.

Lol. So obviously you still don't understand.
It's not up to the govt to tax anyone (i.e.profit from) for unhealthy behaviours. If anything insurers can raise your rates for being unhealthy.

Government caused the problem by making health costs soar through regulation, then you were forced to get insurance by the government, now you want to blame a soda drinker because he is added liability to a system that you are trapped in by the government. The "tax" is just another problem created by the government...it is a never-ending downward spiral...the fat-ass shouldn't affect your rates period. It is not his fault that he is under the dark shadow of the criminal enterprise known as the United States...

First your post to me said LOL and now you changed it. Whatever, I understand more than you do.
