Sen. McCaskill's Response to Tobacco Tax

[Fox]

<rant>

I hate to say it, but, fuck the children.

All too often I see bad legislation that curtails my freedoms and rights being pushed through by politicians that say "think of the children".

I personally don't have any children, but even if I did, my feelings would be the same. I would and will provide for my children if I ever have any. Other people should do the fucking same.

Well put. . .:smile:

The current tax on cigars is a flat $0.05. That's actually pretty low

Actually, that's outrageously high. The only thing that would qualify as a "pretty low" tax on cigars would be $0.00 per stick.

"Sin" taxes are wrong.

I got responses back from both of mine:

Response #1:




Response #2:




Translation: Both of my Republican Senators are against this potential SCHIP-related bill, but not for any cigar or tobacco related tax reason. Shoot, only one of them even mentioned "large cigars" at all!

Again, it's all about toting the Party Line. :crackwhip

These response letter look identical to the one my fellow botl (UTJason77). The only difference being that names of the people that they were addressd to.

Yep....just like I wrote; "I find it amusing to write letters to our elected officials and receive such off-topic, generic, form-letter responses."

LOL! That's exactly what they are.

We were talking about this bill last night, and apparently "children" can be up to 25 years and the income cap is $80,000!!!! Why the fuck do those people need government healthcare???
