69. A 16oz bag of tobacco went from $18 to $65 - and that hit the poor the most

So yeah, their taxes went up. Why don't you favor taxes on abortion, sex, fast food, etc and so on? If we try hard enough we can control the poor and make them live their lives how you see fit. Just like the fundies want to do.

Control the poor, while the rich sit back and laugh.

Tax the poor, and then wonder why they won't vote for a dem in the future.
