Every day I see more and more instances of the left not being able to see one foot in front of themselves, nor two feet behind. It was Meathead that pushed for higher tobacco taxes, which impact the poor more than anyone else. I still say hit ol' Meathead in his wallet . . .tax movie tickets. It's for the Children! ! ! !

My wife is a teacher (one of two conservatives on the campus). We were at a function last night and I talked to her principal about a few things, including smoking.

I mentioned that Obama broke his vow to not raise taxes by increasing the tobacco tax, thus affecting the poor more than anyone. She said, “well it’s there to get them to stop. It’s not good for them so they should be forced to stop with higher taxes.”
