But the poor are taxed more heavily! Cigarette taxes,
booze taxes,
lotteries, gambling taxes, motel room taxes - it all
adds up!


Rich folks don't drink or smoke?



Ya can't have it
both ways--either the taxes discourage smoking or they
increase revenues,
but not both.

Why not?




You mean to say Social security and medicare go to the
rich?

Yup. Just like it goes to the poor. You should know
that. Think of it
this way: when Bill Gates is 65, he'll collect his SS
that same as you and
me.


And why shouldn't he, he pays into it, the same as you and
me?
