I was walking out of Kroger yesterday and noticed Marlboros were 12 bucks a pack.

Crazy.

I'm sure nobody has friends older than them who would buy smokes and sell them for cash under the radar.

Do the leftists ever pause to think about the Law of Unintended Consequences?

Tax it if you must, … but leave people the eff alone


Blame them all you want but the people ask for it. Americans are exactly the same, they want smaller government and less spending but they don't want a single program removed or cut.

This is why the statists will win a glorious victory because the drug of programs is addicting to the right as much as the left.

All they have to do is tell people they are doing what they’re doing to keep people safe and they’re in like Flynn.

It routinely happens here too ever since 9/11 and I never expected to see Americans not only tolerate but readily accept the phenomenon of giving up freedoms for a false promise of safety.

The flip side of that argument is fatties taking up space in hospitals that could otherwise be used for healthy adults with actual health problems, driving up costs for people who need legit medical help.

It's hard to say socialized medicine bad while complaining about hospital costs and lack of availability due to people who eat trash everyday with no repercussions.

It's not their fault, it's the way the industry and the government have modified our food supply. People are eating what amounts to poison.
