“…but I work in NYC where a pack of cigs will be $9.00.”

The mob must be in love Mayor Pinko Commie…what’s the black market price, $4 or 5 a pak?

I predict increased sales of Indian Reservation tobacco products and increased black marketing of tobacco products. Maybe S-CHIP should be called the “Support Your Local Smuggler” Act.

I’m confused. Virginia wants to ban smoking in public places and restaurants, yet the national government needs the smokers to support S-Chip.

Hmmmmmm, Michelle Malkin’s slipping a bit today. No comment about the president’s “glistening pecs.” I thought that was her favorite topic.

This just occurred to me...how is the illegal cigarette sales by the Hamas support groups going to continue to function with the addition of these new taxes? Yes! Obama IS fighting terrorism, albeit through the back door... ...on second thought, sales might actually increase since they don't pay taxes on those cigarettes anyway. DOH!

Send_Me said: (#32)

Here’s my question of any of the “Constitutional scholars” we have in the White House or Congress: since when is government-run health care covered by the U.S. Constitution?

I’m not a real scholar, but I play one around some of my family.

The direct answer is, except for its employees (civil service and military), government run health care or insurance is NOT Constitutional. (Nor is Social Security, to my reading.)

However, as b-cat said in #33:

I can’t remember the last time they referred/deferred to the Constitution.

Mine! Mine Mine Mine! What are you, two?

No. I am somebody who was raised with an understanding of responsibilities. As in, it is my responsibility to take care of my family. Just as it is your responsibility to take care of your family. Just because you are to lazy or inept to live up to your responsibilities, doesn't mean everyone else is. Out of curiosity, what's the specific article in the Constitution that states you have a right to healthcare? Or housing? Or a job for that matter?

Guess quitting three years ago was a good idea after
all.
OT…Another one that didn’t pay taxes. Solis had to
be postponed for her confirmation hearing due to
husband’s tax lien against his business…some of that
is 16 years old.
Don’t ANY dhimms pay their taxes? Guess BO, having
cut his political teeth in Chicago thinks this is business
as usual.

What are you? In most scenarios, grabbing things that don’t belong to you is childish at best, and a felony at worst.

Majority rule is tyranny.

Maybe now some families won’t have to make the choice between health care and, you know, food and shelter.

LOL! Like anybody in America is actually going without.

This will only drive the costs even higher.

If this plan was any good, participation wouldn’t need to be mandatory, but there’s no freedom in socialism.
