If you pay attention to Democrat majorities, it won’t take long to realize something. There’s never enough revenue – no such thing as enough. Every stream shall be tapped, which got me thinking. Vermont doesn’t currently tax medical services, but it is about to pass suicide tourism.
It would be the only state in New England with assisted suicide and no residency requirement. And according to this NYT article, they’ve already got customers waiting. And Vermont is eager to serve. And no, it’s not a new topic on these pages.

That last one is because unassisted suicide, which the party of death and depopulation pretends it doesn’t like, is also on the rise, but that’s typical in the wake of Democratic rule. It only makes sense to make killing yourself polite and legal. Then you expand the franchise.
At first, you need a doctor to sign off on your terminal illness, but what does that mean? Terminal depression? Anxiety? Upset because your gender mutilation surgery disfigurement didn’t make you happy like they promised, or the hormone drugs made you intolerably ill. The doctors, who increasingly rely on the government printing press the way climate “science” does, find themselves living like it’s COVID all the time. Hospital services equal reimbursements, and the party of death will inevitably pay for corpses.
And why not. You’d have to be crazy to re-elect Liberals.
Concrete evidence of any mental illness will quickly rise to the top of the list of acceptable reasons to ask for state-sanctioned self-murder.
The depopulation party makes depopulation legal, calls it assisted suicide (a cure for what ails you), then makes it increasingly easier.

Democrats are also the party of rationed care (Death Panels), and in the context of their policy priorities, that’s a flat-out truth. Surgery costs too much, or the wait is too long. Maybe you should kill yourself. Your government therapists and doctors agree (and your dying is easier on the unbalanced balance sheet). Here’s a note, gind a field and shoot yourself up (or swallow this) at sunset. We’ll send a cart later to pick you all up.
And the next thing you know, it is outspoken public figures or inconvenient political opponents who have something terminal. They were chronically depressed after being confined without due process or picked up in the middle of the night after experiencing an existential crisis unrelated to acts of free speech or assembly. And thanks for the organs and the donation of your assets to the government. What a patriot!
What, you can’t take it with you? They’ve never wanted your family to get much of it (unless you’re a wealthy Democrat donor). So why not aan actualdeath tax? We’ll let you kill yourself (we’ll pretend to care) for a small fee (taxable, of course), and after you’re gone, we’ll tax what you left behind and then tax anyone who manages to hang on to whatever we missed. And then we’ll take the rest.
Death and taxes, right? The only two things you can count on are death and taxes, and the political Left is happy to profit from both.
