But 25-30% of the population can and do "support everyone". Productivity is so high that the majority need not work at all, or be taxed at all. They're just realizing it very slowly.

Hi she, you obviously haven't heard the last one from California yet, they want to make it mandatory to sell only coffee beans which are environment friendly and fair wage friendly....... they were allowed a free hand with smokers, so now they are gunning for everybody, and still nobody attempt to stop them.

Something is definitely amiss here!

I'm an Oregon Freeper. My parents both smoked and my mother died from cancer. My father recently had his cancer go into remission after a long stint of chemotherapy. I sent in my ballot last week and voted AGAINST raising the cigarette tax. My parents both chose freely to smoke despite knowing the health risks and it's not fair to smokers to target them unfairly with additional taxes.
