In Which I Share a Brilliant Tax Insight

Here is yet another reason I should be Obama's top advisor.

Okay, Obama increases this SCHIP (stupid ass name, by the way) program to provide more healthcare for poor kids. Noble idea. I am not opposed to this sort of thing, provided of course, THAT WE HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT. To that end, in theory this program is paid for by an increase in the cigarette tax.

So doesn't it follow that if we can just get more poor kids to smoke they'll be paying for their own health care?

Win-Win, baby.
