CALLING BARACK

"The 111th Congress is less than a week old, and already the first tax increase has been put on the table," complains Americans for Tax Reform (ATR), referring to a proposed 156 percent increase (61 cents) per-pack federal excise tax on cigarettes to fund a $35 billion expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program.

"Remember the quote? 'If you make less than a quarter of a million dollars a year, you will not see a single dime of your taxes go up' (President-elect Barack Obama in the October 7 presidential debate)."

As many as 55 percent of American smokers are "working poor," according to ATR, with 1 in 4 living below the poverty line.
