Another headline -
Senate Passes Measure to Expand SCHIP in Party-line Vote
Not true.
Republicans who crossed the aisle to support the Democratic-written bill were Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Susan Collins (Maine), Bob Corker (Tenn.), Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas), Richard Lugar (Ind.), Mel Martinez (Fla.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Olympia Snowe (Maine) and Arlen Specter (Pa.).

So they will tax poor people to give illegal aliens healthcare.

Doesn’t seem very farsighted- financing a program like SCHIP- where the costs are increasing exponentially- with a tax on a product whose popularity and sales is decreasing.
To: Libloather
The usual gang. Keep this list. I guarantee it’ll be repeated concerning odious legislation yet to come.
To: Libloather
Since I'll be paying this tax, I was wondering what "I" get for my tax dollars...
I was actually thinking about growing my own tobacco,
maybe this is the time.

Exactly.
I hope all those innercity people that voted from the big 0 will love when a pack goes up a buck and a 40 oz is taxed as well.
We reap what we sow.

Do you get taxed when you roll your own?
Many FReepers roll. When my hubby smoked, we did. Very cost efficient and the tobacco can be bought with no additives. Better smelling for me when hubby lit up.
SheLion can tell you about it....

Where does it say illegal immigrants will be covered? As I understand it, the current bill allows legal immigrants (green card holders) to be covered without a five-year waiting period.

I hear tobacco is a weed that will grow easily in your back yard.
To: DeepThought42
Illegal immigrants are included in the tax, if they smoke.
To: netmilsmom
Buying cigarettes will decrease and funding for this program will increase. Where will the money come from in the future? We all lose. Not just smokers.
To: Libloather
I’m in FAVOR 61-cent-per-pack increase in the federal tobacco tax. Bigtime. No conservative should support smoking.
I’m not in favor of the spending that comes with this tax increase. Not at all. It’s an expansion of the welfare state.

I’ll bet 0bama will get his smokes at the PX in order to avoid the tax.

The usual stinking reeking traitors. Lugar also likes a 1 buck a gallon federal tax hike on gasoline.
