On behalf of millions of American families and businesses struggling in today's economy, I urge you to demonstrate your commitment to health care reform in the federal budget. Moving health care reform forward in 2009 is a critical first step to improve our nation's economy. PLEASE do not tax the poor to support middle class, making us less able, it costs more in the long run. SEE my poorly typed letter below. As you put together the federal budget, I hope you will also make the up-front AssESSMENTs of failure to help disabled be able and make investments needed to enhance the quality of care, expand coverage, and save money in the long-run. Please include enough funds in the fede ral budget to achieve meaningful health care reform, FOR ALL OF US. one issue-
To: ofainfo@dnc.org Subject: PLEASE STOP TAXING THE POOR Hello ALL, PLEASE FORGIVE MY DISABLED TYPNG NAD GET THE URGENT MESSAGE... On budget- do not do anymore tax the poor FOR the middle class. don't approve more cig taxes as mostly poor and anxiety prone (including veterans) smoke. and we have no REAL benefits from the tax we pay. the minimal stop smoking programs usually don't work.

Democratic Party leaders plan another try and are expecting success with fellow Democrat Barack Obama as president
. http://www.heartland.org/article/24637/Cigarette_Tax_Would_Triple_Under_35_Billion_SCHIP_Plan.html The proposal would take the federal excise tax on cigarettes from 39 cents to $1 a pack, on top of existing state and local taxes. Families earning up to four times the poverty level—about $83,000 for a family of four—could qualify for SCHIP coverage. SCHIP has been funded largely through federal cigarette taxes. Critics of the expansion proposal point to the irony of imposing sha rply higher taxes on cigarettes, whose buyers tend to come from lower- and middle-income families, because the very people SCHIP aims to help would be disproportionately hurt by this.
