I guess Bush saw 60 minutes this past week. It reported how kids are being prescribed so many medicines, it is killing them and messing up their growth.

Glad my tax dollars won't add to the abuse.

'Cuz not helping anyone at all is better than helping a hell of a lot and screwing up one or two.

For a low income parent, it would at least be nice to have the *option* to say no to filling a prescription recommended by a doctor for your child.

Isn't it nice how some folks' principles always seem to add up to saving their money by not spending it on helping anyone? I mean, how convenient is that!?

Still, that kid shouldn't smoke in bed.

There you go.

Maybe dad should look through the job ads in the paper he is holding, instead of standing there looking at his sick child like a idiot.

Flame on.

[sunpony]

Yeah, that's one awesome job market we have right now! :-)

[anightwlkr]

Yep don't get that extra job at McDonalds so you can watch your kid sick in bed. I would do anything if my child was sick.

The McJobs you're going to get these days don't carry healthcare. You'd basically be working a job and signing all of every paycheck over to the doctor. Whee.

He vetoed it for a good reason. First of all, the money used to pay for this would be high marginal taxes from middle and working class people (people who can't afford more taxes). Secondly, smaller states stand to lose money to big states who spend more. This law also makes it harder for people to buy cheaper out of state insurance.

I never knew that the cigarette tax was just for the middle class and working people.

If this is the case, why aren't the upper income peeps paying their fair share?

[bluetooth16]

It's very hard to force them to pay their share. Even if the loopholes are closed, they'll find others.

That's pretty much an inherent problem of taxes on consumer goods.
