Default Ah hell just go ahead and tax everything already

Increasing taxes on smokes, alchohal, soft drinks, sugar, chips, etc.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22444.html

Not mentioned here but in the works is a tax on employer provided health care.

Id say well hell tax me to flush my toilet too when I realized they already do.

What the heck is a "gold plated insurance plan"?

Do they mean an insurance plan that actually covers the cost of health care?

No, they meant the Golden Key to the Crapper...which is exactly what the current folks in power got in the last election. Welcome friends to the tax and spend democratic years

i heard an Obama guru the other day on the radio "You CAN cover every person in America with quality health care while remaining economically responsible and profitable... it CAN be done."

the room filled with voices saying "HOW?!?!"

what a brain washed moron.

i would love to know how.

because someone is going to pay for it... and that someone is going to be YOU AND ME.

just so all the crack whores can deliver their crack babies with insurance money WE paid for

BULL SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This really makes me laugh:

Quote:
There appeared to be a bubble of support among the experts for taxing bad behavior, including a $2 tax on a pack of cigarettes and a higher excise tax on alcohol.
Taxing bad behavior? WTF...they have been doing that for over a century. This is nothing new. "WHY YES! WHAT A DISCOVERY! TAX ALL THEIR VICES!"

Give me a break.
