The largest tax increase on tobacco in history is set to be implemented on Wednesday April 1st 2009. The tax is going to pay for an expansion of the already bloated BullCHIP, I mean SCHIP, State Childrens Health Insurance Program. If you recall Hawaii tried to do an SCHIP program last year and realized very quickly that it was not a financially feasible option. Obama will just continue to tax the working class and the rich to pay for this welfare program.
The problem is there are no limitations on the program. The single mother can continue to have as many children as she wants and we will keep paying for their health insurance. I personally am tired of paying for peoples irresponsible behavior. People on any form of welfare should not have the "right" to smoke, engage in unprotected sex, have children, drink, or do drugs. If you partake in any of the above activities your welfare, aka my money, will be cut off immediately. Why should responsible people like me have to continue to pay for irresponsible peoples bad choices? I dont mind helping someone out but "helping someone out" does not last a lifetime. It last for a year or so. After that you are on your own!
You smokers that voted for Obama, congratulations, you are getting exactly what you wanted. Obama warned that he would increase tax's on many things and he is doing just that.
