Stop being a sheep and eating what the media feeds you...think for yourself. Everyone does not pay the same. Someone who smokes would pay more than someone who does not via the extra tax. If you drink alcohol every day, you are paying more thru tax, which goes towards everyone's healthcare.

This concept would work for drivers as well. Tax the gasoline. The more you drive, the more you pay...the more you also have a chance of an accident, so its fair.
