Want to help moderate that sugar intake among your kids while making it educational and eye-opening for them at the same time? 

Try out this (tax) plan to pace the candy consumption in your home — while also teaching your kids about taxes and how America runs. (Since when has that subject ever been so sweet — or tart! — as the case may be?)
