Meet one of the Congressmen responsible for the gargantuan tax on vaping products that just got inserted in Washington’s spending package. He’s Mike Thompson (D-CA), a multi-millionaire from near Napa Valley. THREAD 1/

Thompson insists that ordinary Americans shouldn’t use flavored vaping products, despite the fact that he got rich by selling flavored alcohol 2/

Here’s a recent study that shows taxing vaping products at the same rate as cigarettes will prevent almost 3 million smokers from quitting. Apparently, Thompson couldn’t care less. 5/

We have some bad news for Congressman Thompson. Lots of those vapers live in his district and when it comes to vaping, they vote like their lives depend on it. 6/

Here’s the phone number for Congress and they’ll put you right through to his office: [phone] If you live in his district, give him a ring and let him know just how you feel about his vaping tax scheme. 7/

How can Democratic party leadership not see how reckless these unworkable tax-grabs look to voters? The Democrats have smoke coming out of all four engines and Thompson is in the back row popping champagne. END.
