Postcards from the idiocracy

Posted on July 25, 2007 by nuke

Thank you Max Baucus for framing this issue so nicely.

You either support Max’s draconian tobacco tax increase, or you support killing children.

At least, that’s how Max justifies the tax increase of up to $10 per stogie. You see, it’s “for the children.”

The SCHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) is up for reauthorization, and in typical idiocrat fashion, Max and the boys want to expand the program, by an increase of $50 billion above current funding levels over the next five years. And to pay for it, Max wants to put the squeeze on the tobacco teat.

President Bush has threatened a veto, but it probably won’t be upheld over a popular program like this one that is “for the children.”

Because nobody wants to be seen as being in support of killing children. (Unless of course, you’re wanting to kill unborn children, that is).

Call your Congresscritters!

    Stupid people. Guess the prohibition and the war on drugs didn’t teach them anything.

    Right. So this is what we pay half our income for? A Stalinist Democrat government that takes from the middle and gives to the rich and poor.
