So I guess the president vetoed the kids… And not just kids, but poor kids. We were gonna take money from the smokers and give it to the poor kids in the form of health care. I want to know why we should take money from the smokers? Their lives are bad enough. Many of them are probably uninsured themselves, and nicotine is likely not the only drug chaining them down.Let’s radicalize. Let’s just directly tax the tobacco company… And I mean TAX! Like, “Man, my legs are TAXED from doing those two triathlons yesterday…” Let’s legislate some profits from Phillip Morris and RJ Reynolds, and give their money to not only the poor sick kids, but also to the smokers. Let’s make them sell cigarettes for ten cents a pack. At first, the smokers will be like, “Yeah, alright, man! Gimme three cartons and two quarts of Old Mil’…” Soon, they’ll realize that there is no connection between low price and reducing the risk of cancer. We’ll be giving the smokers a choice: Overindulgence due to an absurd price point will make them A, quit quicker; or B, die quicker.I like the idea of truly free country, where stuff that can kill you is not only readily available—legal or not—but also dirt cheap. Let’s send the strong message to those who don’t care about themselves that we care so much for the way you don’t care, that we’re gonna help you care even less. Maybe it could work… like putting out oil well fires with dynamite.The smokers of the world would wake up, find a dime in the couch, and feel the love; and the CEO’s of Marlboro and Camel could go to bed knowing that all the poor kids across the USA have a doctor if they need one.
