Dems looking for money anywhere

The Senate Finance Committee has begun looking for more money. Proposals range from a higher tax on cigarettes, Pepsi and booze to taxing health savings accounts and your health benefits. It's clear nothing is safe. So what could be next? Where could big $$ lie?

I know this isn't new but it's been mentioned that government is trying hard to find a way into our 401 K's and retirement accounts. Perhaps offering a "safe" alternative to the risky stock market. Loan them your money and they will pay you 3% guaranteed interest!! How about tapping into your home equity for the government? Taxing the internet will be just too hard to resist, it's only a matter of time. Increasing taxes for gas, cell phone use, cable services and anything else people won't want to give up.

Isn't this a tax on the Dems constituents? Don't more poor people (Dem voters) use cigs, and alcohol and would have a tougher time paying a higher bill for gas or their cell phone. Will these people ever wise up?
