And just think, the new 2200% federal tax increase on tobacco won’t hit till April 1st. I wonder how people will react when the tax on a big mac jumps by 2200%?

Yep, the politicians are beginning to figure out that their taxing of cigarettes as much as they can is backfiring since alot of smokers are just saying this isn't worth it and quitting.

So, already they have spoken of taxing fattening foods which, again smokers warned anybody who would listen would happen.

On the other hand, a side effect of this recession/depression is that the obesity rate may drop.

My wife's friend was going to vote for Democrats last fall. Her daughter and I talked her into McCain. She is happy now she voted that way. She works several jobs trying to make a living so she rolls her own cigarettes. Boy is she mad now that the Democrats raised her tobacco from $9.99 to over $34 per bag.

Remember no tax hike on ANYONE making less than $250,000. Another LIE!

DEMOCRAT = LIES!!!
