Oh it just won't end! ... "Excess consumption".. [T]o carry tax burden?

Smokers, drinkers to carry tax burden? - Carrie Budoff Brown - POLITICO.com

They're so out of their minds. Another $2 per pack of cigs tax... taxing Coke and Gatorade... and more... including this crazy statement.

Treasure the tax benefits from your health savings account? Some experts say the accounts encourage “excess consumption” of health services — and committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) agreed they’re worth a look. Money in the pot: $60 billion over 10 years.

W, Bush was mocked for saying "they hate our freedoms", but he was right. His target just needed to be broader.

God save me from the day when some bureaucrat is deciding what gets counted as '“excess consumption” of health services.'
