Also here in Kalifornia prop 86 which will raise cig taxes up to 2.60 a pack--making some cigarettes cost up to 8.00 a pack. All this is going to do is force people to buy on the black market. No way am I going to pay that much. Or you can go onto reservations and get smokes pretty cheap.

I make a pack of cigarettes for $0.60 (sixty cents) and sell them for a huge profit.

These anti-tobacco laws have increased my personal income. Actually, the more laws that are passed, the more money I make!

However, I grew up in a time when American freedoms were known and understood. Those freedoms were something that you were willing to fight for, even if it costs you your own life.

Today, I may be an "old fart", but this old fart can still fight.

While you're buying your tobacco you can also buy bootleg movies and music from the same source...a win win!
