Socialized Medicine

We can't afford it.  Some people like Michael Moore say that we should just divert funding for the war toward Socialized Medicine, but the fact of the matter is is that we can't afford the war either.  We are already borrowing money to finance a lot of the dumb programs already in place.  Government spending is out of control, and we need to exercise budget restraint now, not consider new areas to increase spending.

Cigarettes?!  Heavily taxed/!??!  Omg I bet they spend the money on vodka and big stupid furry hats!!!!

Oh wait, no, it goes to cover the health care costs of smokers...  so it's almost as if you're paying for your health care... with taxes....  and when you get lung cancer, you get taken care of... BAFFLING

We have the same smoking laws in Canada... and oooooh, it is truly anguishing to not be advertised to by tobacco companies (which actually helps the companies... those advertisements don't convince people to smoke, they're targeted at smokers of rival brands.  So the tobacco industry gets to save millions upon millions each year but not having to compete with each other through advertisements).  And the packages don't say SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOU, they say DON'T SMOKE AROUND YOUR KIDS, DON'T SMOKE WHEN YOU'RE PREGNANT, OMG LOOK AT THESE GROSS CIGARETTE TEETH, and so forth...  that's a nannystate?  I'm smoking right now and life is good, bitch...

And if the eurofags are under such a horrible nannystate regime, how come they have way more relaxed drug laws than you bible thumpers?  and if Europe is communist, how come more billionaires live in London than any other city in the world?

Freedom? oh freedom... that's just some people talkin'.  Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone.
