Tobacco is only the beginning!

The new tobacco tax is just the beginning of new and higher taxes on everything. As I wrote in my book, The Stimulus Tragedy, the easiest tax to sell the people is a sin tax. Under the guise of better health, the government has taken the easiest route towards increasing taxes. Obama was elected on the promise of lower taxes for 95% of taxpayers. Of course, this is absolutely impossible. The signs were all there. The Senator with the most liberal voting record in congress is now the President. It is so predictable. It could be no other way. What will happen is new taxes and user fees will begin to show up in virtually every area of our lives. These career, entrenched politicians are looking at every possible way to raise money. The only way this can be done is by increasing taxes or printing funny money. They are doing both. Our federal government is spendaholic. They must have more and more money. I don't blame Democrats for this. They have been spendaholic for ever. I do blame Republicans. Until Republicians find the courage to run conservative candidates the country is in deep trouble. There must be a balance of power for the government to function properly. Today there is no balance and congress is loaded with career, entrenched politicians that are only concerned with partisan politics. There are no statesmen in our government. It may be time for WE THE PEOPLE to let the Republicans destroy themselves and establish a Constitutional Party that has the courage to put the individual rights of the people first, as intended, to stop this insane spending, abusive intervention and control. Sadly, we have seen nothing yet. There is much more to come.
