This just in...Santa murdered!

Reports of the murder of Kris Kringle aka "Santa Clause" and "St. Nick" came pouring in from around the world today. His naked body was found floating in his hot tub with his favorite reindeer Rudolph. They apparently died of electrical shock as there were multiple strands of Christmas lights in the water. North Pole coroner Lucifer Hades pronounced them dead at 4 AM December 13th 2010.

Police suspect disgruntled elves. Elves have complained of being over worked for years. Witnesses at the scene report that elves were overheard saying "Serves that fat son of a b$^*h right..we do all the work and he got all the credit!" "Yeah...he ate ALL the milk and cookies too!" Shocked and angry reindeer Blitzen also said, "We always knew something was weird between those two, Rudolph's nose wasn't always red."

No charges have been filed.

Just think...

Now I'm hearing about a tax on soft drinks intended to force obese people to reduce intake..therefore reducing their caloric intake and thus losing weight. That's right, it's a tax for being fat. Pardon me, but I don't believe that anyone hyped up on Mountain Dew is going to be obese forever. Reduce a fat persons caffeine intake and watch what happens. Their logic is backwards.

Another example of their logic being screwy..Tobacco. Smokers are bad people. We know this, everyone points it out and has attempted to make us be shunned completely by society. The argument in question is that non-smokers believe that they will be paying for the health care of smokers.  Tax them to death so they can't afford to smoke and their health issues will be magically solved. All the former smokers will live to be very old thanks to the decision makers of today! My question is this: If they live longer..won't it cost us all more to keep them healthy so they can live longer? What about Social Security benefits...if they live longer we'll be paying more people over the age of 65. So the end result is astounding...People who smoke tend to die younger so we don't pay as long for them. If you just need to tax for revenue..tax water. Everybody needs and uses it...not just a select group.

Mark my words..they are already working on ways to tax your air intake. Sooner or later someone is gonna say that you're breathing up all of their air!
