WARNING: This is a vent, a rant... my apologies from the start.
This is rediculous! I wouldn't mind so much if it was a gradual increase, or if ALL children were eligible to benefit from the program the money is going to.
We make too much money for them to qualify for the program. (State Children's Health Insurance Program)
Here's the site that gives the price increases: http://www.ttb.gov/main_pages/schip-summary.shtml
Not even roll your own is cheaper anymore! The only exemption is the large cigars. You know, the big fat ones rich @$$holes love to smoke with they're expensive sipping alcohols that never get tax increases either.
Yea, smoking kills... can cause birth defects, cancer. I know all the risks. My choice in this day & age. If I get sick, it's my own fault.
Doesn't drinking kill too? I mean, can't it cause birth defects too? Cause liver damage?
Wait... last I checked when I smoke a cigarette it doesn't impare my judgement causing others to be at risk when I operate heavy machinery.
Why doesn't alcohol get taxed equally?
Better yet, why don't those rich @$$holes stop being so F-ing greedy. I wonder how much they get in "Finders Fees" in kick-backs, commissions, & royalties they're getting for desiding to rip off the little people again? Oh, it's one of those "If the American people can afford to smoke, they can afford to pay for the health care of millions of others."
How about instead of us American taxpayers paying you $174,000 per year, we give you a pay cut. Do you really deserve to make that much? Can you live at the Federal Poverty level of $10,830?
Try it. You know damn well 1 in 8 of the people who put you there attempt to live on less than that! (there's another piss-me-off topic)
Yea, I know. I could quit to save the money. I could sit down and shut up and help all those poor children. blah-blah-blah!
That's not the point.
I am getting so tired of all the bureaucratic bull$#!T! On so many levels this is pissing me off more and more!
Ok. Thank you.
