[Trend Ologist]

An Austrian-School economist, Mike Rosen, wrote in his
Friday 15 April column (paraphrased): 'though tobacco
users get sick and cost us funds for their medical
treatment [and presumably burial as well] they die
younger so they take less from pension plans'. He is
cold blooded but minces no words.
He continued (again paraphrased): 'tobacco
tax-increase referendas are nannyistic, make
bureaucrats feel more important and further their
payrolls & secret agendas'.
He goes on to say: 'when voting in referendas, the
basic rule of thumb is to vote "No", because most
referendas are ploys to increase the size of bureaucracies'.
