He founded the Congressional Wine Caucus which uses influence on Capitol Hill to prevent the wine industry from being taxed. But he thinks regular Americans like you should have to pay vastly more in taxes for vaping products. 3/ pic.twitter.com/jcHSEJWiqq

By every poll, Americans are already livid at Congress and also the rising prices of consumer goods. But this political genius thinks that imposing a gigantic tax on more than 15 million fellow citizens who use vaping products is a winning political move. 4/ pic.twitter.com/kDLuoiL4AO

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/https://t.co/RjNbBMua1d pic.twitter.com/y7Qb0IXMsB

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: (202) 224-3121 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.
