Tobacco Tax 101

[MasterCylinder]

If they could/would tax stupidity, all our problems would be solved!

Nah... politicians wouldn't want to tax themselves...

Just another bump in the road like rising gas prices or inflation of bread prices. It will all be ok in the end and in a year no one will remember what happened until the next rate increase happens.

I view this tax increase by the federal government as slightly different than just simple inflation. Yeah, we'll probably soon forget about the increase as it's not catastrophic, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't be upset about it. This is the same government that owns a majority interest in AIG. It won't be long before it's illegal to bring American made cigars into Cuba...
