We have,  already,  a soda, beer, water tax:  the bill for hooking up to a sewer line,  the monthly bill to be hooked up to a sewer line,  and the water bill,  which is mostly removed by the sewer line,  the washing machine, dish washer, car washing,  ad nauseum.  And that sewer and water bill is not a reflection of the cost to have a sanitary disposal district and potable water furnished.  Nope.  That bill is the city council slush fund in most towns.  Need more money to send Ed and Maxine to the convention,  the conferences,  the legislature,  whatever,  get it out of the sewer account.  The sewer and water bill is about as honest as the back door surveillance by the NSA,  CIA,  FBI and fourteen other surveilling agencies of government.  Track my phone because I talk to the neighbor, who is a Republican and obviously a Russian conspirator.  And then get me for conspiring to sneak off and have a beer with the boys in a barn in the country. Wyden was right,  but now silent.
