"If it were totally up to me, I would raise the cigarette tax so high the revenues from it would go to zero."
New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg
What an idiot.

So far, 27 restaurants and bars has closed in Ottawa, as if that isn't bad enough, the boys & girls club are closing buildings, due to lack of money they used to recieve from the legions and bingo halls............ so it's for the children, huh. :-}

"A spokesman for Philip Morris said it discourages online sales of its products, mostly because of age-verification questions. The company has asked several online retailers to remove its products for that reason, he said, and some, though by no means all, have done it."
Last week when I bought cigarettes at the upstate Seneca Reservation I was surprised to see signs posted saying, "Limit: 2 cartons of Marlboros". No limit on any other brands. When I asked the clerk, "why", she told me that Philip Morris ordered it and the order was being strictly enforced due to black market reselling.

Philip Morris ordered it and the order was being strictly enforced due to black market reselling. Philip Morris is despictable. I wish everyone who smoked their products would smoke something else. I wish PM would just sell their cheese and shut the hell up!

The thing that sent me off to the web was Engler's proud announcement that the sole purpose of this tax increase was to balance the budget. He couldn't even be bothered to make up some lofty goal for it. That shows you how little they even care anymore about raising taxes on cigarettes. They feel they don't even have to justify it.
