BTW the boston tea party and our subsequent revolution started over a 3% tax on tea, cigarettes are almost ALL TAX about $5.50 per pack is TAX and you aholes are OK with that because it only affects your neighbor.
This isnt America anymore. And jerks like you want to make it worse
I have always wondered what would happen if all the tobacco companies just stopped producing cigarettes prior to the big shakedown. Congress would have collectively crapped their pants when billions of tax dollars instantly dry up almost overnight. Even if they continued to pay the farmers and workers full price it would be cheap that the scam fines they got.
