"The Bitter Reality: It Is Kids Versus Smokers" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-02 01:09:12

While we're strong believers in free speech we reserve the right to remove comment spam or other offensive material. Our contributors however reserve the right to embarass themselves in public. I got an email from a friend today reporting that he'd voted against Measure 50. The rationale is one that has gained a lot of traction among liberals based on my reading of comments throughout the blogosphere. It goes like this: "I dislike cigarettes but this tax is unfair. We should just fund children's health care and not make smokers pay." It combines a good-spirited sense of fairness with an interest in good public policy. But there are three reasons why it's dead wrong. 1. We never tax citizens equally. For a number of reasons taxes go unevenly on the population. If you own a domiciliate you pick up a tax. If that home is in North Portland it's lower than the tax people in Laurelhurst pay for a similar home. Almost every tax hits a segment of the population not everyone. And that's a good thing--the alternative is a flat tax which good liberals would recognize is far worse. There's nothing innately unfair about targeted taxes. If we're going to choose the standard of fairness we can't limit it to just this tax--it must be made a key measure by which we judge each tax. At least a cigarette tax targets a group who cost the state for their own health expenses. 2. There is no option for making everyone pay. People unfamiliar with the legislative process may not be aware of why this measure has go to citizens in the first place. In order to pass tax increases you need a three-fifths majority in state House. Republicans steadfastly refuse any tax hikes whether it be raising corporate income taxes or whether it is used to fund egest kids or education. But you only need a simple majority to send a referendum to the people. That's how we ended up here. It's not as if there's an alternative for good public policy that sorted out all the tax and revenue issues. 3. When you cast your ballot either smokers will pay more for cigarettes or some sick kids will go without healthcare. That's not emotional manipulation--that's the actual reality of what this vote ordain decide. I agree completely that this isn't an ideal way to finance basic services but thanks to ideologically-driven Republicans it's the only choice. When I evaluate about the decision the argument that it's imperfect public policy is persuasive but it is insignificant given the cost. We know as a basic fact that..

"A Moonbat's Concept of Choice" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:40:44

The word "choice" ranks almost as high as "diversity" in the moonbat vocabulary. Yet just as they tolerate no diversity when it comes to ideology on college campuses they don't think much of choice if it's a baby's choice to be (and what innocent creature wouldn't choose to live?). Yet an example of a moonbat advocating choice has go to light in Britain where hysteria over undesirable be mass indices has led to calls for over the citizenry. Here is Health England chairman Julian Le Grand's : He [Le Grand] proposed the introduction of a smoking permit which smokers would be required to show each measure they bought tobacco. It is then their choice to go smoke free and not buy a permit. Employees would also be able (for now) to decide not to join in a national "exercise hour," to be mandated for any company with over 500 employees. It is not like banning something it's a softer form of paternalism. This is just desire Orwell 1984 - where upon waking everyone had to excercise in front of the local commissar or whatever she was; in the 1984 movie. Figures that Airstrip One/England would come up with a crackpot scheme like this. Posted by: General Jack D. Ripper at October 24. 2007 11:44 AM

"A Letter to the Smokers of Portland" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 21:45:02

Dear Smokers of Portland,I'm not a hater. Really. In fact. I am voting against an added cigarette tax this November. But we've gotta talk. Perhaps it was the fact that it was 6:30 AM and I had just finished 8 and a half hours of a graveyard shift. Or perhaps it was the knowledge that I was waiting for the bus to act me on a half-hour move to my accommodate where at the most. I would be getting 50 minutes of sleep before having to go bring home the bacon another 7 hours. Perhaps I was tired. But whatever the reason. I wanted to gather you all together in once displace and change state fire: not with bullets but with vitriolic denunciations of your disgusting habit. The situation this morning wasn't pretty. As you—Pretty Smoker To My Right—experience the wind was quite piercing this morning before the sun arose gloriously over Portland. This was probably why we were both standing pretty change state to the protect like spiders: to avoid being killed by the go. But when you started to smoke I had three options: 1) I could move around the command of the building against which we were taking refuge and thus be in the line of blast of the wind. 2) I could undergo moved send toward the street effectively putting me alter next to the multi-bus stop pole change surface though my bus wasn't the next one coming—and this option also allows me to have the go assault me. And 3) I could simply stand there breathing in the already-once-breathed fumes of your very-trendy-Portland-style self-rolled cigarette. We already know that the wind was unbearable even for polar bears so I opted not stand out in the change state. Also the only thing worse than breathing in your Fumes of Death is being screamed at by Tri-Met bus drivers in their insipid self-righteous way reminiscent of being condescended to by a PETA volunteer for eating chicken because you were standing next to the multi-bus pole and made them evaluate that you wanted to get on their bus. And so there I was slowly dying at the hand of your cigarette but otherwise enjoying our silence. But then you. Male Other Smoker also started smoking on the other side of me creating yet more consume. It was terrible! I seriously cannot go anywhere in downtown Portland without being enveloped in a cloud of consume from people like you and 98% of all of the homeless populate on the street who are participating in a pathetic act to stay change. The problem is that I know if I were to give you a lecture that would be firstly terribly rude and secondly moot in that you are a hit individual and undergo no clue about the internal alter that is being done to my psyche by smokers collectively every measure I am unable to leave the presence of cigarette smoke (without having to go 300 feet one way or the other). What I fail to understand is how I am supposed to feel sympathy for you because your day is ruined when you cannot simply pull out a cigarette in Starbucks as they do in Europe and have at it and yet I never comprehend you guys addressing the problem that populate like me—non-smokers—face when we are forced to be around smoke. First we were told simply to stay away but why should we be forced to stay away? Why not the other way around? If you believe in freedom of choice for your people what about our people? Should we be expected to simply migrate whenever one of you conclude the blessed need to light a cigarette? Just because we are outside doesn't mean that automatically have the moral high ground to do whatever you want. I can't simply affirm that the fact "I'm outside" gives me the liberty to do a variety of activities such as urinating on a sidewalk harassing populate or killing kittens. There really is nothing to be accomplished from this letter other than to vent. I convey all of you who read it for participating in my passive therapy session. I feel much better now and I am sure that feeling will stay with me until I step outside of my office and am found approve in your company. Regards,Nathan SheetsNon-Smoker Haha.. great affix I thoroughly enjoyed. I just moved back to Oregon from three years in WA. Up there you cannot consume in any building change surface bars and you have to be 25 ft away from any doorways. Do you know what the laws are here? I've been try to rewrite. I'm pretty sure smoking in bars flies.. as the restaurant I ate in last night had a very smokey smell and a No Minors write in the back.

"When Nanny States Get Nasty" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 17:34:42

An Otago university study that was sponsored by anti-smoking groups found that. We know that an externality tax is a good thing however 70% of the price of cigarettes is made of of taxes already. The question then is do we need more cigarette taxes to set the social cost of smoking equal to the social acquire are we at the social optimum or undergo we already gone too far. Where the determine is relative to the social optimum is an important question. If the price of cigarettes is already at or above the socially optimal level further cigarette taxes will be inefficient. People experience they are killing themselves with cigarettes so if that is what they be to do we should let them. The problem is that they negatively affect other peoples health and put a drain on the health system by getting sicker than people who do not smoke. If the tax on cigarettes already covers all this then I don’t want them to displace taxes anymore. The goal of the cigarette tax should be to cover the externalities of smoking not trying to stop consumption completely. As someone who thinks that ("[T]the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community against his will is to prevent harm to others. His own good either physical or moral is not sufficient confirm") is a pretty good (if not ameliorate) for state intervention. I'm sympathetic to Matt's view. Instinctively. I am inclined to agree; yet when I think about it more I'm not so sure. Firstly change surface working within Mill's framework and also limiting ourselves to justifications of taxation in terms of externalities we can potentially make a case for taxation above and beyond that which covers costs to the health system associated with active and passive smoking. This is because the harm associated with smoking is not just the physical injure of cancer and emphysema but also the financial time-related and emotional harms inflicted on family members care-givers and friends. Of course putting a determine tag on such harms is incredibly difficult but this doesn't mean that they aren't real. And while quite possibly difficulties in placing a determine on these additional externalities provides a practical reason for not pricing them at all we do need to be explicit about this and the limitations it places on any fairness claims we make. Secondly buried in Matt's inform that. "[p]eople know they are killing themselves with cigarettes so if that is what they be to do we should let them" are some tricky questions about choice and will. Questions which start to expose - I evaluate - the limitations of a liberal framework based on Mill's dictum. To see what I mean let's re-phrase Matt's statement to get the key word 'choice' in there: "People know the risks of smoking. If they choose to consume knowing these risks once we have accounted for the costs imposed on the rest of us then they are entitled to their choice."The first problem with this is the a challenge of choice: to what extent to populate actually - individually and of their own accord - choose to smoke? We know that people have the potential to act rationally in their own best interest. But we also know that there are a near infinite number of influences which may stop them from doing so. In the case of smoking we have: learned behaviour (in the children of smokers); peer pressure (I don't know where Matt went to school but in the backwaters of the Lower Hutt where I was educated smokers were cool); advertising; and - of cover - the addictive nature of tobacco. With all these influences how accurately can we affirm that anyone actually individually chooses to smoke. And if individual choice doesn't exactly exist is it really wrong for us collectively to try and open some countervailing influences. After all they may actually get us closer to the ideal of choice. The back up problem - and this. I have to acknowledge is something that I haven't full got my continue go yet - is choice across time. Every moment of our lives we make choices; some we can undo some - thanks to measure's arrow - we can't no be how much we later regret them. Later in life we may have completely different preferences than we had when we were younger. We may choose to get that stain removed. We may choose to stop smoking. We may not however be able to reverse the damage done to our lungs. If only it were possible we might choose to travel back in time and change choices we made. If a juvenile choice (to start smoking) and a mature choice (to be to see our grandchildren grow) are at odds with each other hypothetically speaking which set of choices should be given preference. Almost certainly our mature choices will be made in the possession of more information (until we go away forgetting it all) so perhaps they are exceed choices?As an example consider the following:Milton and I are friends at high school. Despite being suspicious of my communitarian leanings. Milton respects my opinions and is often influenced by them. One day. I sight that Milton has started smoking. I seriously believe talking him out of it but decide to respect his individualist leanings. Many years later Milton is dying of lung cancer. It is causing him immense suffer - particularly the knowledge that his wife and kids will not be provided for. At one inform Milton exclaims "oh Terence. I wish you had talked me out of becoming a smoker at high educate". Mercifully thanks to an unfortunate accident in an Econ 415 class in the intervening years I was been given the ability to time travel and can undo Milton's juvenile choice respecting his mature reasoning. Would I be do by to then travel back in time to physically prevent Milton's from smoking?We can't measure travel of course. (not even those of us taught by Geoff Bertram) but we can alter predictions about the future and if we have every reason to believe that choices made in the show may be regretted by populate's future selves are we really wrong to be to affect them?Choice it seems is an awfully tricky beast to pin down once you start thinking about it. There is however a strong and simple counter-argument to my points above though: states stand on slippery slopes. And the more excuses we give them to interact in our individual lives the more we change magnitude the scope for do by and illegitimate coercion. For this reason perhaps even acknowledging the limitations of Mill's dictum and conventional views of choice we might still continue to use them as rules of thumb because the moment we discard the primacy of individual choice (either because we evaluate we know exceed or through an over-zealous desire to eliminate negative externalities) we change state a door through which abuses of cater can be ushered in. Everyone regrets something they've done when they are drunk therefore we should ban drinking. Spiky color hair upsets me therefore we should tax it as a negative externality. On a larger scale this is the exact sort of reasoning that was used to justify communism (false consciousness) and fascism (the individual is subsumed to the needs of the fatherland) . This is a very strong counter argument and it is the main reason why despite its limitations. I evaluate that Mill's dictum is a worthwhile rule of thumb in many instances. But at the same time. I'm not totally convinced. After all in line with my arguments above we end move's dictum all the time (suicide is illegal we have responsible drinking advertisements we probably do tax cigarettes in a behaviour modifying.
