Only taxing the prescriptions?

Don’t want the drug smugglers to have to fill out the paperwork?

Democratic Senators Propose Tax On Painkillers To Combat Opioid Epidemic

Proposed knowing full well that most of their constituents are street thugs who will steal or shoplift opiods, bypassing any tax.

They also want to tax mileage on cars. But they’re for the ‘little man’.

Won’t taxing painkillers drive the trade underground and stimulate the black market?

Oh, wait...

I wouldn’t mind seeing a tax on doctors who prescribe these poisons. It might encourage them to be much more cautious about their use.

Punish the many for the sins of the few.

What a load of crap.

All I hear lately is how Trump’s budget is going to hurt the elderly. Guess who uses more painkillers than anyone?

Yes, the older folks who need them to get through the day somewhat pain-free.

Burn the poppy fields and build the damn wall.

Because street drug dealers are ready, willing and able to collect the tax.

How about a tax on lawyers and lawmakers to help combat stupid laws?

The first thing Liberals want to do is tax rather than get to the cause of a problem.

Spending other peoples money is not the cure.

Only a socialist would attempt to tax addiction and disease.

I used to get hydrocodone from my GP for my pain. With all the rule changes I can no longer get them to prescribe them without going to a pain management DR.

I didn’t take them all the time just when I really needed them. I’ve had to go with other choices.

When I hear, “We’re from the government and we’re here to help.” I know I’m screwed.

This is so stupid that only a democrat could even conceive of a tax on pain killers.
