George Will: Why government needs a diet: Paternalistic anti-obesity laws don't work
So let's understand what this means. Certain government agencies are funding efforts in cities across the country to campaign for implementation of taxes on sweetened beverages. This means the government is now funding campaigns to raise revenues for itself. Is that what we want form our government? I think not.
This is an example of the "carrot and stick" theory, which induces the public to change their behaviors and hurt legal businesses. This is not and should not be any task the government has in it's short list of things it is requried to do by our Constitution.
