"Liberal Tax"

So as I was doing my local scan of ksl.com today I came upon a story titled, "Liberal tax leaves bitter taste in some smoothie drinkers' mouths". I thought to myself liberal tax? what's liberal tax? It turns out that an owner of a smoothie shop is going to charge liberals more for a smoothie. I understand that Utah is highly conservative but charging a certain political party more for what they believe is disgusting. What is the difference between this scenario and charging a certain religion more for a smoothie? In both cases someone is getting charged more because of what they believe. The United States is soon going to encounter serious problems if we continue the direction we are going. We are in major amounts of debt (some of which caused by a couple of wars that the U.S. didn't have the money to pay for), we have major differences in our political parties making it impossible for us to pass any bills to help our country out of debt, and if we don't find a solution soon we as citizens are going to face the major problem of hyper inflation. If we look at the history of the world another country has faced these same problems. France had all of these problems just before they had there revolution. I don't want the United States to have a revolution but if we continue to have political parties do things like charge a "Liberal Tax" than we will have these exact same problems. The U.S. is in a war but it is not a war of fighting it is a war of ideas. The more these ideas clash the bigger problems we will have.
