Here's my favorite bit of hypocrisy in my country (the good 'ol U.S.A.)
The government spends billions of dollars of taxpayer money on tobacco subsidies.
People who smoke tobacco get sick.
The government either pays for their health care, or insurance rates get raised on non smokers, to pay for people who are stupid enough to smoke.
In other words, non smokers in this country get screwed over both ways! Are smoker deaths a benefit to society? Who cares, as long as I don't have to pay for it!
I say, let's have a death tax on stuff that people abuse that will kill them (i.e. alcohol, tobacco, saturated fat, etc.)
Yeah, I know it's too simplistic. |
