Health Care by Taxing All the Goodies!

Should we even be surprised at what the Obamanation wants to do? I mean really; now they want to increase taxes on cigarettes and beer AGAIN! Never mind that the $.60/pack increase on tax in April was the BIGGEST EVER tax on cigarettes since the Govt. began taxing smokes. That increase was more than all the previous taxes combined! But should we be surprised? After all, Obamanomics is teaching us something new - "Do it big and bold while we can!"

But I thought that Nobama was going to do things differently in the Obamanation? He promised - promised unequivocaly - that he wasn't going to raise taxes on the little people who live in the Obamanation. And yet, statistically a higher percentage of lower income people smoke than do those in the higher income. Hmmm. Sounds like a tax increase on lower income people to me, doesn't it?

Now they want to keep that "no tax increase on the lower income people" tax increase going by once again increasing taxes on the "little people" & "the big bad high income earners." To pay for the "free health care" our leaders are targeting beer & cigs once again (go figure). But now they want to add into the mix soda and chips. That's going to make going to the ball park more expensive, and tailgating at Packer and Brewer games (or whatever your favorite home team is). And what about the SuperBowl parties? Are we going to have to charge our friends so that we can afford to have that free health care?

And if THAT weren't enough, another aspect of paying for the Govt's Free Health Care is to TAX the health care benefits employees receive from their employers! What an incentive for people to keep their private insurance - tax it so that the rest of the country can get theirs "free" (which is NEVER free). Check out POLITICO's article: Smokers, Drinkers Carry Tax. Folks, it's common sense; there's no such thing as a free lunch - or "Free Health Care"!

But I still believe in the American way, and I still am optimistic because of the American Spirit. Contact your senators and congressmen. Keep calling them and writing them. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD! Remember, THEY WORK FOR YOU! That's just common sense and that's the American Way.

God's blessings and have an awesome day!
