Wake up. The taxes are different in NC and Michigan. Does that mean anything to you?

(HINT: It is the STATE LAWMAKERS in the respective states who set the different tobacco product taxes - NOT President Bush!!!)

And, federal taxes when levied are put there by Congress (yes the President signs the bills). But Congress people pass tax laws - NOT the President.

Ok, civics lesson over - go back to sleep.

Did I say Bush imposed the taxes?...No!

Are there federal taxes on cigarettes that contributed to the funding of terrorists?...Yes!

Does Bush claim to want to freeze/eliminate the funding of terrorists...Yes?

Did the ramification of high taxes imposed by government (state or otherwise) on cigarettes help to fund terrorists?...Yes!

So where exactly was I wrong again?

Oh, now I get it. We should thank Congress "NOT the President" for any recent tax cuts. In other words, all the good tax laws he signs are the Presidents, all the bad tax laws he signs are Congress'.

Thanks for the civics lesson...now dream on.

The poster in question is known for ignorant and deliberately false statements re taxes. He also spits on the grave of our former friend, CHIEF negotiator, with hatred hitherto unknown by me.

Stay away from it.
