What would you do?

How it would make you feel if Congress

passed a law that said that all foods with sugar in them were going to be taxed and if you wanted any kind of candy or other sweets, you would have to pay a dollar extra for everything with sugar in it?

How would you feel if you could only ever

have one kind of soda, we’ll say Grapico? You could never have Coke, Fanta, or Pepsi again.

How would you feel if every time you used

anything made from paper that you have to pay an extra dollar? This would include paper for doing your homework, books that you want to read, toilet paper, and paper plates and cups.

What would you do if you had to follow these

rules and pay all of these taxes? Or is there anything you could do about it?
