Like the SCHIP program which benefits a lot of yuppie anti-smoking parents.

According to that article they want to tag on another 2 dollars to a pack of smokes. As I mentioned last night they’re also talking about adding a tax on soft drinks, in addition to alcohol and snack foods.

This of course is only the beginning.

Once cigarette taxes become too high, people will just stop buying them. That’ll be the end of that revenue stream.

Reagan was right; Democrats are economic ignoramuses.
