But is that where the tax is going ? That was my main point, you’ve made your point enough times, but you haven’t addressed anybody else’s point. Cgod’s point was we wouldn’t even be having this discussion if those god damn progressives didn’t want to bring in that hypocritical sin tax in the first place. He raises a valid argument ,because you marketed the very thing as a punishment for lifestyle choices by calling it a sin tax. You want to call it a getting back the money we gave to those farmers tax than his point is moot. Of course the argument to that is well why the hell don’t we just pay more for it in the first place so the farmers make more money so it doesn’t need to be subsidized so we don’t need to add tax to cover the subsidizies.
