If they will tax one industry out of existence, which one will come next?

This is why I quit the Republican Party this year after being a member for 15 years. No Republican will ever get another dime from me, ever, until the neocons are on the dustbin of history and true conservatives take back the party.

“it does connect public healthcare costs with one of the drivers of that cost, and that’s tobacco.”
Hey Gordo, how many of those kids using SCHIP smoke? I don’t smoke, but this is BS. The states are already getting billions of dollars from the tobacco settlement, guess it just ain’t enough. What a scam.
This may just be me, but it really seems government is getting out of control with stealing our money. This is one example, Houston’s $1000.00 fines for illegal lane changes is another. As is Portland’s $250.00 fine for bikes that don’t stop for stop signs. And let’s not for get eminent domain.
Are we all just peasants that work for the betterment of our masters? I have about had enough. I don’t need some rich politician telling me I’m too greedy because I want to keep what I bust my ass for. F’ing Edwards and his $1000.00 haircut can kiss my ass.
OK, now I feel better.

Not a problem. I'll just switch to wildwood flower. Since it ain't legal, they can't tax it.
Besides, it only kills brain cells and doesn't cause cancer. Dead brain cells are an advantage when living under Lieberal rule.

Well, they already want to tax the air we EXhale (CO2), so I’d guess the next thing to tax would be the air we INhale (Oxygen).

It really does come down to a choice between children and tobacco," said Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Ore.). "This is a 'twofer.' It does decrease smoking, and it does connect public healthcare costs with one of the drivers of that cost, and that's tobacco."Yo Gordie, I got a "twofer" for ya. Shut up and sit down!

this is major BS. and like always... it’s for the Children. yeah right. Washington has become a politician cesspool. I am not a smoker btw. I just think it is wrong to target smokers and drinkers like if it is some evil. if Smoking is so dangerous why not ban tobacco? Washington is America’s pimp.
