Hey, if people are dumb enough already to pay $4 for a plain cup of coffee anyways - would they even notice the tax?

I never go to Starbucks - I can brew coffee that tastes the same at home for a MONTH as opposed to what I'd spend in ONE VISIT....

I've never bought a plain cup of coffee at Starbucks. Is it $4 too? (My choice is a jazzy little number with four shots of espresso, chocolate syrup and a little Valencia orange-flavored syrup, topped off with frothy steamed milk...YUM...oooh, I think I need to go to Starbucks now.) ;~)

Even if they don't notice it, does that make it right? Is it right to tax cigarette smokers for every societal ill under the sun? How about the tax I pay to build a &%^$%# football stadium that I am priced out of actually entering?
