..raise the tax to $70. A tax has been deemed legal, and what is the difference if you tax it $10 or $70. Smokers are a minority, and cant do anything about it - and why hot have more revenue coming in to the state coffers.

Well,  aren't you a "sweet little Conservative."  We sure need more like you.  I think you are on the wrong forum.

Yes, we are a minority.  I thought it was illegal to segregate against a minority?  Or did I read wrong?

We can't do anything about it?  LOL!  I beg to differ with you.

And when the smokers revenue is gone from the state, guess who they will be going after? YOU!

Because SandyB, when you have the state's coffers relying on revenues from tyrannical taxes imposed on users of a legal product, those users are either going to obtain said product from either out of state or thru the blackmarket. When that happens, as it is going to, your state will now claim that those lost revenues actually resulted in $...xxxxx.xxx increase to your state budget but due to whatever reason, we now find it necessary to raise the taxes on Gas, income, or whatever they deem accessible......

In other words, their failure will once again be turned into a financial victory with the assistance of a willing MSM........
