Michael Bloomberg, Soda Jerk

Michael Bloomberg, Soda Jerk. “The truth is that people who enjoy Twinkies and cola turn off Bloomberg, a rich man with an ultra-yuppie sensibility. But he can’t simply outlaw their preferences and mandate his.” A ruse is needed – to Bloomberg, “…gov’t spending has made health care a common concern—one he has to address by vetting individuals’ diets.” “But public costs are simply a ruse for control freaks like Bloomberg to foist their personal choices on everybody else.”

  • The time has come to load up the box truck and drive down to NYC with a load of Hostess Twinkies, you could make some serious cash.

  • The Big Apple has become the new Pyongyang as the Dear Mayor seeks to regulate and restrict his subjects diet.

    ...for their own good, of course. Dammit! You will obey!

  • “…gov’t spending has made health care a common concern—one he has to address by vetting individuals’ diets.” “But public costs are simply a ruse for control freaks like Bloomberg to foist their personal choices on everybody else.”

    And what's to stop the federal government from doing the same thing under the guise of saving us money under the auspices of Obamacare?
