The Food Tax Myth

There is an ad that continues to play on the news networks of a lady buying groceries and complaining about the government making decisions for parents. Those of you who followed my run for Congress might guess why this commercial annoys me. But first some background
The creator of this ad, Americans Against Food Tax, isn't the grassroots movement they seem to imply to be. The group was created by the American Beverage Association. The group was started a few years ago when there was buzz for a food tax, but continue pushing their anti-food tax message, despite the issue being dead for some time now (on a national level anyway).
The annoyance for me comes from the little jab at the end of the commercial saying that government needs to cut spending not raise taxes, because I know the American Beverage Association does not want the government cutting it's spending on corn subsidies. That's right that "corn sugar" AKA high fructose corn syrup they put in everything is only in there because the government uses our tax money to make it artificially cheaper ( see Corn Welfare).
This ad is another example of a corporate hissyfit not a legitimate philosophical position. This group does not care about government interference with food prices when it benefits their bottom line.
