Rand Paul Is Right about Eric Garner: NY cigarette taxes are partly to blame for his death.
______________________________________________________
Rand Paul is not right. He’s wrong.
Blaming cigarette taxes for Garner’s death is like blaming jaywalking laws for Brown’s death.
It’s now been reported that Garner was a member of organized crime. If it hadn’t been selling “loosies” illegally it would have just been something else. This event was tragic, but if one lives a life of crime, whether deemed petty or not, there is the likelihood of facing the consequence for it, possibly dealt out by over zealous police. It’s kind of along the lines of “live by the sword, die by the sword.”
