Reminds me of the Simpson's. <BR/><BR/>If you like healthy children, I wonder what will happen to the children of people who lose their jobs and livelihood if the tobacco market is ruined by increased and unsustainable taxation? In fact, if the SCHIP program is funded on such taxes, the tobacco market will diminish considerably. When that happens there will be no more tax revenues form the sale of tobacco to support SCHIP. <BR/><BR/>Frank, do you know if the new SCHIP program is designed to tax the tobacco industry as harshly as the original one that was vetoed by former pres. bush?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134801615638277267.post-10787704577795314182009-02-04T20:53:00.000-05:002009-02-04T20:53:00.000-05:00She showed that she loves healthy children more. As a mother of a child with lots of medical needs, I commend her. She has shown tremendous courage under so much pressure from the cigar industry. This only makes me admire her more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
