Hillary Rodham Frum
November 5, 2004
So Little Frummer Boy of Axis of Drivel fame endorses both socialized medicine and “fat taxes,” as Norm Singleton points out below. This makes him political soul mates with Hillary Clinton, among others.
As soon as the “War on Tobacco” wound down, Hillary got together with the Captain Kangarooish C. Everett Koop, the former U.S. Surgeon General, to begin waging a governmental “War on Fat.” They recommended the policies that Frum now wishes upon us. What Frum ignores is the expenditure side of this scheme. Billions collected from the new taxes on cigarettes have gone to finance the Democratic Party’s political machines at the state and local levels, and to hundreds of “nonprofit” organizations that will use the money to continue to lobby for bigger and bigger government in the name of “public health.”
Don’t go on a diet, Mr. Frum; just sit back, continue to down those double cheeseburgers, and the state will save you from heart disease by raising your taxes. And if that doesn’t work, we look forward to your advocacy of mandatory treadmill workouts.
