Michigan is a Marxist hellhole run by a communist governor put in office by brainless, brainwashed useful idiots.

Productive people are leaving by the tens of thousands along with thousands of businesses.

Michigan is an example of what will happen to America if the Stalinist Hillary gets into the whitehouse.

Avoid Michigan at all costs.

Been here for almost 38 years, little hard to do that now.

**Roll your own.**

Exactly.

If you really want to save some money and avoid the outrageous taxes, you can spend 15-20 minutes a day rolling them for a buck a pack.

If you choose the right loose tobacco, they will also taste better than any brand you can buy.

What if someone drives over state lines, buys a trunk full of cigarettes, and then returns home to Michigan?

Washington State confiscates your car.

No kidding? Why hasn't someone taken such a case to the Supreme Court? They don't do that with other products, do they?

Almost perfect except everyone's buying the stuff now.

And we're supposed to be protected by the federal constitution against this sort of theft, but who's paying attention to the constitution?

The federal and state governments are already engaged in anarchy, deciding which laws it will or won't enforce. When citizens catch on to the scam and decide they won't obey laws either, we'll see war in this country.

All the better, more money for the state.
