re: #395 eon

I don’t think it’s the law of unintended consequences. I think it intentional bootstrapping to get the program enacted. It’s the classic: “This expensive government program won’t cost you anything, because tobacco taxes will pay for it.” You then agree to the program. Five years later, with the tobacco tax base eroding, it becomes, “Oh, we must tax you to pay for this wonderful, existing program, because tobacco tax isn’t carrying its weight anymore.”
