Obama’s Cigarette Tax Will Hurt the Poor While Enriching Politicians’ Friends
April 12, 2013, 2:18pmCNN is reporting that President Obama wants to raise federal cigarette taxes by 94 cents per pack. The tax is being sold as a way to help the poor, with the revenue supposedly going to early childhood education programs. But if the results of state cigarette taxes are any indication, the tax will disproportionately hurt the poor, fund programs directly connected to politicians and negatively impact small businesses, all while consistently failing to meet revenue goals.
The Gay Marriage SCOTUS Case
March 27, 2013, 11:19amOn Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on California’s Proposition 8 and today it is hearing arguments on the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA. A decision on Proposition 8 could determine whether California, and possibly other states, can legally ban gay marriage. But, after attending yesterday’s arguments, Reason’s Damon Root says, "The Supreme Court seems to think that the backers of Proposition 8 don't have the standing to bring this case, which would send the case back to the district courts."
