In 2002, ObamaCARE architect wrote a paper for the National Bureau of Research arguing that cigarette taxes make smokers happier. This is the same idiot Gruber who bragged about how the Obama regime hid the fact they knew ObamaCARE was one giant tax. For that he argued that Obama had to be deceptive about it being a tax, or the bill would never pass. Then why cigarette taxes make smokers happier?
The only one I could imagine being happy about a cigarette tax would be the government who gets more revenue from smokers. Maybe even people who just can’t stand being around anyone who smokes might be happier with a cigarette tax too. But actual smokers? This is the so called genius who wrote ObamaCARE?
