PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama tax pledge up in smoke

Quote from nutmeg:

It found that 34 percent of respondents earning $6,000 to $12,000 were smokers,,,

------------------------------

Who are the people who fall in this income group? My guess is these people are de facto wards of the state. People on SS or SSI, or subsisting on some form of gov't help. In essence the gov't is taking back.

Good point, which makes the whole exercise a waste of time.

I don't smoke but I believe they are the last group that are legally discriminated against.

CAR INSURANCE. You pay more if:

you have a lower credit score

you are young

you are single

you are male

(believe it or not) someone ELSE hits YOU. I was read ended by someone in heavy traffic, who was ticketed by the police for not allowing enough room. MY rates went up 30%

What is the matter with paying based only on your driving record?

imagine if they charged more for being a minority - the alarm bells would ring.

These are some of the things that if benevolent king of the USA, I would enact.
 
Very true.

However, you can blatantly be discriminated against by an employer for being a smoker.
