Obesity tax save America

New York Governor Paterson has just proposed the Obesity tax charging non-diet sodas up to 15% in cost. This decision helps a great deal in reducing deficits and boosts the government income for spending on other important affairs.
The pop culture of America adheres to the pop soda of Coke. A great amount of money spent on these beverages injecting nothing but fat and sickness into our bodies. Our daily expenses on these unnecessary diets has donated up to $20 billion a year to only Coke Company, not counted other beverage corporations. Sadly, we are usually not happy in reducing our satisfaction for the sake of the community. This money can be used for other important department such as health care, education or saving the crisis of this economy.
Furthermore, a 15% tax on these sodas could reduce expenses on health care system. As we know, obesity has caused so much cancer, diabetes and sickness which drain huge budget on many hospitals. Our non-stop-indulgent daily lives have accidentally made an impact on the US economy unnecessarily.
Under this proposition, Mr. Paterson promises to accumulate up to $121 billion for the government. According to his plan, these budgets will be used for 3% cut in education spending, besides health care trimming. The plan also taxed on unnecessary goods such as clothing and footwear.
It revealed that the governor is trying to reduce our spending on extravagant goods and entertainment product to transform these into better usages including social service.
