I am glad he did veto it.
They wanted to change the tax on cigars.

There is currently 4.8 cents-per-cigar tax cap but under the proposed bill, taxes on "large cigars," a category that includes all but the tiny cigars sold in packs of 20 like cigarettes, would rise to 53 percent.
A version of the bill being considered by the Senate Finance Committee sets the maximum tax per cigar at $10.
"I'm not sure in the history of man, since our forefathers founded the country in 1776, that there's ever been a tax increase of 20,000 percent," said Eric Newman, who runs a Tampa cigar shop, according to the St. Petersburg Times. "They had the Boston Tea Party for less than this."

A box of fine cigars like Rocky Patels already costs me $110. They wanted it to cost me $168 so that I can fund some kids health care? Tell his parents to get a fucking JOB!
Just because some asshole can't take care of his family does not mean I should. Would any of you pay for my kids health care if I went into a coma? Fuck no you wouldn't. So don't expect me to do it for your kids.
