Could you please add me to your ping list....thx
Thanks for the ping, and good morning!
When is the general public going to catch on to this little game the states (and the tobacco companies!) are playing? It makes me wonder just how stupid -or just unaware, period- people are. How long can they bury their heads in the sand?
It's willful ignorance, I guess. I don't see how people can let the states get by with this, otherwise. Then again, I am reminded of those quizzes they give to folks on the street, and they can't even figure out who the vice president is, where the country's capital is located, ect. Why should I expect them to be able to figure out this is blatant hypocrisy?
Of course, it's really more of a case of people ignoring the implications of taxation like this, because it's "feel-good" legislation at it's best. We're all going to reap what has been sown here, though.
