"Why not restrict booze and smokes to people who will pay an arm and a leg for it and use the proceeds for a tax cut on the middle class."

have you been to Canada lately? $11.25 fora pack of smokes, $20 for a dozen beer, not to mention gas tax. Does any of this tax robbery provied "tax breaks for the middle class"? Nope. But socialist governments love the idea of taxing addictive substances and recreational drugs- booze included, and that is usually the line they use to sell it. I guess that tells us who you vote for, doesn't it.
