She wants to raise revenue by taxing drinks with sugar.
DeLauro introduced the Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Tax Act, also known as the “SWEET Act,” on Wednesday, which would impose a 1 cent excise tax per teaspoon of caloric sweetener in soda, energy drinks, sports drinks, and sweet teas.
“This act is intended to discourage excessive consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages by increasing the price of these products,” according to the text of the legislation.
I don’t need to read the article. The glasses say enough for me.
I propose the $10,000 FUGLY Tax. This is to discourage democrats from procreating.
If Republicans had any balls they’d add an amendment to that calling for a 100% Ugly Tax. That’d put her right out of business.
…Or, a Charlie Callas Lookalike Tax.
…Or, a Women Mistaken For Ron Wood Tax.
Is that Spock’s ugly sister?
…wth, cookie monster in drag???
What about a FUGLY tax?
Oops, I guess I should read a little better before I comment. Sorry guys.
I can go along with it provided she has a bag surgical sewed to her neck so I don’t have to see that ugly mug anymore.
How ’bout a mocha, latte, swirly, espresso, vende, or whatever else they call coffee tax???
She also wants a giant broom, and to lecture others peevishly.
And I still want a jet pack.
Sugar is already the most subsidized commodity on Earth, so if the filthy crunt want to raise the price of sugar-sweetened drinks – just eliminate the sugar subsidy.
She is a foul, disingenuous, disgusting, thieving, corrupt piece of shit.
She always reminds me of a creature from the movie Dark Crystal. I’m torn as to whether she is a Gelfling or a Skeksis.
To all the young females out there:
Kids, don’t do liberalism. It rots you from the inside and turns your outside ugly. Don’t take my word for it. Look at Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg, Joyless Bahar, Rosa Callas, Whoopie, Debbie Blabbermouth Shultz. etc. etc.
Don’t do it!
Just HOW and WHY do these creeps come up with this crap anyway?? Do they get off on making it all up? Please help me understand, Lord!!
My Lord, it’s the missing link! I’ll bet her ancestry starts with an electric toaster.
dam, that is one homely woman. So ugly even makeup wont help.
“Woman mistaken for Ron Wood Tax.” Hahahaha! Oh, Irony! Bless your ironic heart. You made me howl laughing.
It has nothing to do with discouraging the drinking of these products. It has everything to do with stealing money from the public’s pocket. Eternal revenue.
@Irony, you should be a ‘motivational speaker’ for kids!
Excellent!
I think Delauro is a space alien.
How else to explain that?
She also has an alien sense of “fashion”.
Warning: this is scary!

Does this include corn syrup? That’s the culprit.
Why does it not surprise me that a sugar calorie tax is being pushed by someone who looks like she’s been sucking lemons all her life?
Maybe there should be a tax on ugly. I’ll pay mine if she’ll pay hers. Something tells me her and John Kerry’s bloodline crossed somewhere.
I wonder also if it would cover high fructose corn syrup.
You know- the sweetener made from GMO corn.
You know- the GMO corn of Monsanto production.
The same Monsanto that her husband worked for and now represents.
The same Monsanto that has filled their corrupt pockets, and now bossy Michael Obama wants to partner with for school lunch programs.
Oh- and she is pretty peculiar looking. I’d call her in if I saw her around here, but I don’t know what descriptive pronoun I would use.
Bitch looks like Steven Tyler with a shrunken head.
This troglodyte knows she can play the bad news is good news when you’re a prog!
Holy crap, J, did you say someone actually married her? Gawd, how butt uggly and desperate was that person?
no offspring from that union i hope
a walking, talking ad for not having kids
Is it me, or does she look totally anile in that picture?
Her hubby.

Also a connection to now governor of Illinois when Rahm was a congressman living rent free in a home owned by Rosa and hubby.
My God! Is there a Democrat who is anywhere near under 100 years old? Somebody should research that and compare the average age of each party. I bet the Demoncrats average out older by say 15 years easily.
That’s a man baby.
“DeLauro” and “sweet” do not belong in the same paragraph..
Men have more estrogen than this….lizard queen.
How about a tax on adults who think like three year olds? A hefty tax…
What a ugly looking dude.
