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.

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.

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’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.

Each State must pass a LAW requiring every student to present a valid certified birth certificate and or resident papers to enter school. Problem solved!

So when will this get signed by Obama? When will people have to start paying the extra $0.61/pack? Will this apply to Indian reservation smokes? BTW, what’s the price at which smokers will quit? I’m guessing the gov’t is on the verge of milking this puppy too much.

The amount of tax they get already is mind boggling. Here’s an idea, everyone buy the patch, stop. See how long that additional .61 increase lasts. They would be begging people to smoke again, offering tax reductions.

My husband had the company car for a week and then turned it in. A lady with whom he works reported him for smoking a cigar in the car. I got that lady an air freshener spray for Christmas. I doubt she got the message, but you never know.

WTH would the governments, at all levels, do if people actually quit smoking, drinking, and gambling for a couple of months?
More to the point, when are “we” going to lay up supplies; pay the bills ahead, and not work for a couple of months, cutting off both payroll & sales taxes?
