The mainstream media is up in arms ... Obama broke a campaign promise! Well, this wouldn't be the first time. The tobacco tax increase went into effect yesterday, raising the tobacco tax nearly 62 cents on a pack of cigarettes to $1.01. And guess who is more likely to smoke: poor people. People making less than $200,000 a year. People who are government educated. Barack Obama supporters.
I love it. If the Obama administration is going to increase taxes to pay for government healthcare, at least let the poor and the ignorant people pay for it. They are the ones, after all, who put Barack Obama in the White House. They can afford to fund his dreams and schemes, one puff at a time.
By the way ... just why are poor people more likely to smoke? Because, generally speaking, they're dumber. As much as you might hate to admit it, intelligence translates into wealth in a free economy. Ignorant people just don't usually make the big bucks. Well ... there are athletes and entertainers ... but that's another story. The tests are out there ... smoking is a habit for the ignorant. Deal with it.
