>>The crazies that are calif will kill one of their golden gooses if this passes. The socialist state uses ciggy taxes to pay for all kinds of crap and if this passes folks will quit in droves. Then tax revenues will actually fall leaving the politicos to scramble for other ways to steal from the populace.<<

I talked to a CEO buddy in Cali yesterday who said these are "good taxes" because they were carefully crafted to raise revenue without driving industry out of the state...

I'm voting no because I've just about reached the 'if it's a tax no matter what tax vote no' category. I'll have to read it, but does it prevent getting the product from out of state? Heck, I'd just have my friends buy and send me cartons from NC, they are 10 to 12 dollars less a carton now without this tax.

Is there really anything such as a good tax?

WHAT industry????  The mom and pop's struggling to make ends meet and keeping their little businesses open?  I doubt very much if this is going to help any of them!
