Would you support a one per cent healthcare levy on alcohol, tobacco and junk food?

[barryqwalsh]

Such a levy would raise billions to fund Medicare and Medicaid.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Not a federal use tax on such products, no.

 

[Mr. H.]

Are you daft?
Alcohol and tobacco are already taxed to the hilt.

.... this is where it's all headed, eh?

Before long our rights will be taxed out from under us, and/or outsourced to insurance companies. Dumbasses.

Thank you but by the state, yes? But for the feds, not a penny. Shift the money.

NY already has sin taxes. Giving the money for healthcare would probably be a good thing. How about gun taxes go to victims of gun violence?

A state increase of a penny per dollar per gun sale?

That's a winner.

Obama raised excise taxes on those the first month he was in office. It's why a pack of cigarettes costs $7.

Oh, did you ask this question on the wrong message board! These people have just spent days in another forum having a cow over a fraction of a percentage of a fee on hedge funds - which will affect them not at all, except that someone else's kids might get to go to college and THAT WILL DESTROY AMURRIKKKA!!! - and you expect rational answers?

I can see the festivities have already begun. Good luck...

And we should bump automobile taxes to go to victims of auto accidents. We should tax divorcees extra to contribute to child welfare services. We should also tax idiots extra, for just generally fucking everything up.
