Obama tax pledge up in smoke:

[Y's_habibitk 2]

The Joke (on us) behind this whole tax Cigs thing is this.

-Liberals want to graft more people into the pool of people getting Govt health insure. (this program goes beyond helping the poor).

-Liberals only place to get funding is to tax smokers.

-The higher cigs are the few people smoke.

-As the cost of this heathcare program grows and the pool of smokers paying shrinks, the cost will then become another expensive program with no way to pay for it.

-Then what do we do?

* What is the next "target group"?

Then where is the tax supposed to come from?

What is the Conservative's solution?

Are we supposed to continue increasing the deficate?

It is not just the "Liberals" who support sin taxes... not even close.

So true. Im wondering where this idea comes from, that its the liberals that are all for sin taxes.

The GOP is busy raising sin taxes here in FL to balance the state budget. While I don't necessarily believe in the concept of sin taxes, I take comfort in knowing that people can chose to pay them or not to pay them. Try that with your income tax.

Good thing only rich people smoke. Or this would be a tax on those making less than $250,000 and Obama would be a liar.

He's gonna pick pockets like a sloooow drip so people don't feel it all at once and don't raise hell about it.

Yep....same reason we have taxes taken out of our paychecks, instead of getting a lump sum bill due on April 15.

I don't have that; I pay several lumps a year. If the rest of the country had to do that, there would be a revolution in no time!

Thank God the rest of the country isn't like you.

You want people to be poor?

No. I prefer people who aren't full of themselves. And plenty of people pay quarterlys. It doesn't put one above the general population.

you didn't say "No. I prefer people who aren't full of themselves" in your earlier post. Now you want to change the message ...

The parties involved understand.

No one said it did. Stop showing your paranoia that everyone thinks they're better than you are. You can try fooling yourself into believing they aren't thinking that.

I'm not paranoid at all. I also have self confidence so I don't feel the need to impress strangers on an internet forum.
