IF we introduced a 100% luxury tax on alcoholic beverages, would that pay for

if the uninsured did not buy all the booze they could afford to buy health care insurance

You tax me anymore, and you will wish you lived in another country.

Nah, but a 200% tax on tobacco... that kills alot more peopel and uses up health care resources more. That way the average smoker will pay for his/her health care plus alot of other peoples. It will even itself out and get peopel to stop using it.

"if we taxed it at 100% " that's a quote from you. Who are you and what WE do you represent? If you want to pay more to promote your agenda, do it, but don't ask me for mine, I see how much is already taken from my paycheck. Do you have a working paycheck or a government paycheck?

I think it would do it if we just taxed for health care

Healthcare for the uninsured is already paid for, and has been for decades. Their hospital bills have always been paid for by you through federal and state grants, taken from your taxes.

Best thing you can do is get your rich class to hire Americans, rather than Indians and Chinese.

Sin taxes only serve to reduce sales and revenues, and the net contribution remains about the same.

 

[libs can't take criticism]

like the luxury tax the Dems thought would work in the 90's by taxing yachts and boats? All that did was cause people to quit buying them and put thousands out of work and closed hundreds of businesses. Higher taxes on the rich and on things we want have NEVER worked and will NEVER work. But Liberals are clueless to believe that.
