“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.

If it were not for sin taxes, this country would fold.
