If the program is worth it, then the politicians should find a broader base of financial support for funding.<BR/><BR/>2. Every politician from tobacco producing states should have voted against the program. Hate or love tobacco, it is still one of the major economic forces in several southern states and the elected officials from those states should take action to protect them. Example - if every one of the members of Concord's City Council hate racing - they better kiss major butt for the good of the community.<BR/><BR/>Do you think if this program was being funded with a $2 (about the same percentage) tax on a six pack of beer, that the reps from MO (A. Busch) or WI (Miller) would vote for it?Sam Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01217273789147051558noreply@blogger.com
