go democrats go!

show us how petty tyrants REALLY raise revenue

[mosaicwolf]

Watch the Black market after this increase. I will bet there is a very small increase in actual revenue with this punitive tax. It will be gasoline next folks.

[Loud Mime]

We know it would begin. The question is when will it end?

[Bean Counter]

All this is going to do is expand the black market on cigarettes.

[Tarpon]

And then we’ll need another tax to “bail out” tobacco farmers hurt by the rising price in cigarettes caused by Hoyer’s tax...

[Le Chien Rouge]

52% of the voters believe that the government can do a better job at managing the economy then the free market and therefore welcome , with open arms , all new taxes..........I actually have conversations with people who make 6 figures that believe we should raise taxes ........I have become speechless at their lack of knowledge in both history and economics.....
