Don't ban smoking - make tobacco an illegal product - then see what happens! Manufacturers close down - people LOSE JOBS - all the MILLIONS of $ of legal taxes STOP -
Then all the majority of NON-smokers can be happy BAILING OUT the tobacco companies!
BUSH & FEMA blew FUMA up our Rectums
During the Katrina Fiasco!
I FUMA -
Ergo - I Exist!
FUMA versus EPA -
Let us NOT Prosecute Chemical Manufacturers
For Spewing their Noxious FUMES - POLLUTION
From every Smokestack Across our Nation -
Rather - let us Persecute Individuals -
By Over-Taxing their Lil Rectums
Unto Kingdom Come!
Rather than Collecting Millions upon Millions
Of Dollars from the Real Culprits
Of ‘Second-Hand Smoke’
That literally affects Everyone -
Let us Gouge the Minority Public -
Then - Lie - and Say it is to Protect
Little Innocent Children!
SURE!
All that Tax Money will invariably Find
Its way into Somehow Miraculously
Funding Health Insurance Premiums for Kids!
RIGHT!
Just Who is Tracking Said Transparent Taxes?
Anyone? Who Cares? Certainly Not Non-Smokers!
“Give Us Barrabas!”
“Crucify Them!”
If the Government at All Levels
Truly Wanted to Achieve such a Worthy Goal -
Why Not Tax Another Legal Product
More Vigorously?
Like:
Alcohol - Yachts - Hummers - Sailboats - Power Boats -
Twinkies - Donuts - Lattes - Fast Foods -
Chocolates - Boston Cream Pies - Cheesecakes -
PORN Movies - PORN Magazines -
And a Myriad of Other Products?
In 1939 - the NAZIS Banned FUMA-ing!
Go ahead - GOOGLE IT!
I DOUBLE-DOG-DARE YOU!
American Citizens Rights are being Whittled Away -
One by One -
And yet - the Silent Majority
Says and Does Nothing!
Let us Blame Everything Wrong
On the Dirty-Stinking-Filthy Smokers!
You Know - those Low-Lifes!
Gas-Guzzling SUV’s - Hummers -
Unnecessary Four-Wheel Drives -
Super-Powerful V-8’s -
Let Them Belch Out CO2 Ad Infinitum -
To Hell with Global Warming -
Let us Blame IT on FUMA!
OH - BY THE WAY -
Just heard on NPR Radio Yesterday -
ONE-HALF of All MEDICARE Costs
Are being Blown on Unnecessary Medical Practices -
Keeping Terminal Patients Alive on Machines -
Because they Don’t have Directives in Place!
New Corporations are Actually Building
Huge Facilities to Do This!
Where Are Your Tax Dollars really Going?
Who Cares?
Just keep Raising Cigarette Taxes -
It’ll ALL just Go Away!
And yet another excellent rant. I use to FUMA and loved every little puff til my lungs rebelled and was forced to quit. I really appreciate your mentioning of the medical system and its wastefulness. Here too in Canada, too much expensive machinery and administration. I asked my husband to be kind to me if I was ever needing to go on life support or became severely handi-capped in some way. A pillow over the face is a pretty economical way to accelerate the process.Works for me. Love it Tom, J'nia
As a smoker, I feel your anger - mine, too - but what can we, the little people, do about it? We can whine and whine and whine and nothing gets done - those in high power are deaf to our cries of NO MORE! They're forcing us to quit - and yet, the drinkers keep on drinking and driving and getting slapped on the wrist - free to go to kill some more - ENOUGH!! Already been prohibition once - ain't gonna happen.
Yankee Doodle Daddy is a historical Appalachian Family Saga. The story follows a mother's reckoning as she struggles to survive and keep her four daughters alive.
