Utah smoothly bar owner charges liberals extra Jan 15th 2013, 19:27 A juice and smoothie bar owner in Utah is charging liberals an extra dollar for drinks. George Burnett, owner of I Love Drilling Juice & Smoothie Bar, says he's trying to make a point about fiscal responsibility. "We have a fiscal problem in this country. We've got to deal with it or we don't have a country, so to kind of help make that point, just a little bit, I charge liberals just a little bit more. Really what I'm focused on is the fiscal differences between big government/small government and liberal ways, as far as entitlements and spending," said Burnett, in a KSL.com report. Burnett says the extra money will go to support the conservative Washngton-based think tank, The Heritage Foundation. Burnett, also a pro-oil and gas activist, plainly lists prices for his drinks, with colorful names like Drakes Well, Oil Creek and Old American. Conservatives: $4.95, Liberals: $5.95, and Crew Team Members: $3.95.  Not all are finding his "liberal tax" sweet tasting.  Some have criticized the move on Facebook saying it is "pathetic" and "offensive."  One user, Justin Olson, wrote: "If you own a business, you don't insult half of your potential customers. That's Econ 101."  But many don't appear to mind the extra charge.  Another user Splinter Baker wrote: "I LOVE what you're doing! Never back down! keep it up!
