Who Pays For Obama's Cigs?

From Patrick at Badger Blogger.
"Barry Obama just raised cigarette taxes by 155%! The cigarette tax is one of the most regressive taxes we have, since the majority of smokers are considered among the “Working Poor.” Also, like the gas tax, it is one of those things that hit those that can least afford it the most. Sure, some will say that it will encourage some to stop smoking, but we all that that’s not going to happen, and if it did, it would lower the income generated from this tax, which is said to pay for the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).

So much for Obama’s promise not to raise taxes on the poor, huh?" Badger Blogger


Bet the cost of our presidents smokes is buried in the food bill.

Will anyone in the MSM ask him if he pays for his habit?
