Health care costs DO NOT GO UP because the cost of cigs goes down. Health care costs go up because people are stupid and smoke... it's no different than them getting fat on junk food and depriving their body of exercise.of cancer causing cigs to minors, upping health care costs to everyone (chase is all about other people costing us more in health care)

Reducing and stabilizing federal spending is essential, but breathing life into the present anemic recovery will also require fixing the nation***8217;s tax code to focus on jobs and growth. To repair the nation***8217;s tax code, marginal rates must be brought down to stimulate entrepreneurship, job creation, and investment, while still raising the revenue needed to fund a smaller, smarter, simpler government. The principle of fairness must be preserved in federal tax and spending policy.
Individual Taxes
America***8217;s individual tax code applies relatively high marginal tax rates on a narrow tax base. Those high rates discourage work and entrepreneurship, as well as savings and investment. With 54 percent of private sector workers employed outside of corporations, individual rates also define the incentives for job-creating businesses. Lower marginal tax rates secure for all Americans the economic gains from tax reform.

Corporate Taxes
The U.S. economy***8217;s 35 percent corporate tax rate is among the highest in the industrial world, reducing the ability of our nation***8217;s businesses to compete in the global economy and to invest and create jobs at home. By limiting investment and growth, the high rate of corporate tax also hurts U.S. wages.
Cut the corporate rate to 25 percent
Strengthen and make permanent the R&D tax credit
Switch to a territorial tax system
