5. Not unless you can prove that smokers are the only people
funding the Iraqi War, no.

Look, I'm all for the S-CHIP program and want it expanded, but it was a bad bill. It essentially taxed the most dwindling social group in the nation - one that is already overly taxed.

Expand the S-CHIP program with a tax on high fructose corn syrup or via income tax - make it something lucrative.
