I’m sure John Hoeven will figure that it’s not fair to make us pay for what he doesn’t get from the smokers.

He can just ask the government workers in the state to become slightly less unproductive.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

How about a grams of fat tax on restaurant and grocery store products?  With all the fast food places in GF, it would be a cash cow.

Attacking every state employee to try to make some kind of point is way over the top.  I know many state employees who are very dedicated to their jobs and work hard every day to provide the services that you take for granted.

And Rob, you are starting to sound like a Democrat, or worse...a member of the traditional media...when you turn even good news into a negative story.

And for everyone of those theirs someone watching them bitching about not being paid enough.

How am I attacking state employees?  Is the fact that most state employees a) think their agency is underfunded and b) think they’re underpaid some sort of new revelation?

Because the politicians I know, left and right, make jokes about it that are funny because they’re true.

Opposing social engineering through the tax code makes me a Democrat?  That makes no sense.

But really, I take the Popeye approach to these things: I am what I am.  I call things as I see them, and taxing tobacco to try and keep people from smoking while simultaneously counting on that revenue to fund other initiatives is pretty much the definition of absurdity.

Maybe you should ask yourself why you don’t like many of my posts, and you’ll probably find yourself wondering why you’re supporting shoddy leadership from someone like John Hoeven.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

Rob,

You know darn well that Hoeven did not support the tobacco tax the Dems pitched. His SCHIP efforts were prior to the Dem ridiculous Dem plan being unveiled and only to the extent that ND wanted a change from 140% to 150% of poverty. How many times are you going to go to that false well?

Hoeven.....only to the extent that ND wanted a change from 140% to 150% of poverty.

How do we know that.  He said he wanted it expanded and I don’t believe he ever spoke out against the Democrats plan. 

It could be that I missed it but I would like to see the proof.
