OT The federal tax on each cigar could rise from 5 cents to $10.

Did you notice the other thing about the legislation which should cause you to complain to your elected slob?

In message news: snipped-for-privacy@comcast.dca.giganews.com, dbu,. sprach forth the following:

Ron Paul would also veto this bullshit.

Yup. More nonsense that government, oops, you and I should pay health care costs for other people.

Combining two things in one piece of legislation. A tradition that should be stopped.

If more people actually took the time to learn about the crap foisted upon them by their elected ninnies, maybe needed changes would actually take place.

Your example gets my vote for being in the top five.

Well, a lot of state governors have line item vetos to put a stop to that sort of stuff, but hey, what am I talking about. Until 1984, we voted for one, two or three legislators here in Illinois. What a ripoff.

We tried getting the line item veto to the President but the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional. Remember the Contract with America?

Better yet, maybe President Cheney!

Oh would that get the liberals uptight!
