28. Regressive sin taxes and twisting issues
Moore was right to question what is wrong with us.

The tobacco tax is regressive and a sin tax, right? Shouldn't we as Democrats be against regressive taxes?

I hate tobacco companies and even question the ethics of farming tobacco, but isn't this the kind of confusion of issues that Republicans must love?

The issue is healthcare and while Republicans want to stress how you are going to pay for it, we should answer every time that Americans pay twice over and get less.
