"doesn't see a need for a permanent tax increase."
ah. another one of those "temporary" taxes . . .
What's the saying? "Taxes for thee and thee but not for me"?
Yikes!!!! Here we go again.
Taxation without representation is tyranny---my a**!.
I love how cigarrett smokers are demonized just enough for the government to put their hands in the smokers pocketbook!
Hey! smoker you cant go out to eat, or watch a ball-game, or go on a school campus..but we'll take the money we make from you and fund these things.
"Don't tax him and don't tax me, tax that guy behind the tree."
The Guv was also talking about raising income taxes on families making over 100K, and here I was hoping he'd knock off that extra penny sales tax his predecessor passed.
At least our roads . . . hmmmm.
Good grief!! Who's backing these proposals? The Mafia?? The more taxes shoveled onto a pack of smokes the wider the door opens for bootlegging illegal (a.k.a. untaxed) smokes. Organized crime makes the $$$, and the state government makes felons out of its citizens. Cheeze....
His tax increase proposals show that he's badly out of touch with Hoosier voters.
I wish there was a recall effort underway -- I'd help that process.
This type of policy is so self-defeating. Taxes are raised on a single product to increase revenue. Then people don't use as much of that product because it's more expensive. So no revenues are increased and something else must be taxed to make up the deficit. If you want to balance a budget, cut spending and taxes and let Liberty flourish.
Tell this dunce, Governor Mitch Daniels, why don't he raise taxes on purchase of autos. How about increasing the gasoline tax. How about property tax increase. What gives this the dunce the right to attack tobacco. This is what is wrong with America, we have elected the bottom line of humans to represent us. Where did these people come from.
