Next thing you know, I won't be able to afford coffee anymore either, because the gubmint decides to tax it too.

The liberals raise taxes on cigarettes so they can fund health care. Intelligent people know that higher taxes on something will stop them from doing it. As Chief Justice John Marshall once said, "The power to tax involves the power to destroy." Unfortunately, liberals don't understand that. They actually believe that tax revenue will go up if you raise taxes. Initially, yes. Long term, snort-worthy. In CA, they have their vaunted anti-smoking commercials paid for by state money. After the campaign ran for a while, the state had a survey done. The number of smokers (and smoking in general) was down. One of the survey questions was about the effectiveness of the commercials. The liberals were giddy with anticipation about the outcome showing the intelligence of liberals! Show the unwashed masses that the socialist gov't is always right! However, the majority of previous smokers said they quit because the increased taxes made the cost prohibitive. The liberals cocked their heads sideways, got the deer-stuck-in-the-headlights-look and said, "Huh?" Explaining taxes to a socialist is like explaining nuclear physics to a rock.

I smoke, but the senior blimp's a lush. I want a $20 tax on each bottle of booze. Mary Jo K would be proud. People die from second hand smoke? Ask for the WHO findings on second hand smoke. It may be an irritant, but those who have been exposed develop a resistance to lung cancer. They didn't publish that finding to the general public. Alcohol kills more innocent people than second hand smoke. I bet Mary Jo's parents would agree if they were free to talk. Another “fee” to pick my pocket. I smoke, but the senior blimp’s a lush.
