“Grandstanding politicians are nothing new. Smokers are the minority in America. I’ll use the electric cigs from Europe. Then the politicos can figure out has to raise the tax money they’ve lost.”
After almost 35 years of at least a pack a day... I quit smoking on April 15th.
Partially it was because I wanted to breathe better, partially it was because my daughter is having a baby and I want to be around for my grandkids.
But a HUGE part of me quit to flip the bird to the GOV who just raised taxes AGAIN. Who in their right mind spends money now based on the taxes you are gonna collect in the future. And I am sick of the gov taxing the heck out of me to give to illegal aliens and lazy ppl.
$37.50 added tax per carton in my state. Cigs are approx $8.00 a pack.
Let’s see where they are gonna make up the tax money they are gonna lose on me!!!
(and yes, this is the hardest thing i have ever done in my life. But every time it gets really difficult, I think of Lautenberg, Menendez and Corzine... those Bastages!)
But if you don’t smoke, where are the chilruns gonna get the money for healthcare through SCHIP? Think of the chilruns.
But don’t you feel like you’re giving in?
