My liberal friends are now criticizing the overtaxation of tobacco, remarking that if tobacco wasn’t so constrained, more people would die by their 60s and 70s, so they wouldn’t have to be provided healthcare when they reach their 80s. Go figure.
Several statistical studies have proved that tobacco deaths are actually a boon for Communist pay-as-you-go retirement systems such as Social security, and all the more so when they are bound to health “insurance” organs.
This is lack of common sense when you did all the crap to stop smokers these folks now live longer and don’t leave money in the SS system when they die at 60.
Real smart thinking coming out of Congress critters.
