Forum Overview :: Motherfucking News :: Ending those subsidies is probably politically impossible.

[quote name="Fullofkittens"]For the same reason it's impossible to do anything that benefits everyone besides farmers: because the US Senate disproportionately represents rural Americans. That said, I heard somebody mention the last week that they are talking about financing universal health care with a soda tax! That would be awesome. We certainly tax the shit out of cigarettes and booze because they're bad for us. Apparently it would not actually be enough $$$ to pay for universal health care, though.[/quote]
