Cigarette

Raising the tax on cigarettes has always been an option. But the higher you raise the tax the less
people smoke ( other than Barrack Obama). Thus revenues go down. In Canada they have no
anti Smoking program because that would be a bigger strain on their health care system.
You see you wait months for tests and operations..so you die off before you can cost society.
Until teachers are willing to be judged on performance we are just throwing money against the tides.
Teachers have IRON CLAD pension plans.
Good for them.. All we need are more saps like us to pay for them and other state and federal workers.

It is true that the law of supply and demand dictates that a higher price means a lower quantity is demanded, but funding S-CHIP with Federal Cigarette Tax Increases is a Poor Tax Policy. A cigarette tax increase hurts the poor more than virtually any other way of raising money. High Cigarette Taxes Encourage Smuggling and Associated Crime.

It is often said that cigarette taxes should be increased because government needs revenue. Such an argument is possibly the worst used by advocates of higher cigarette taxation. Why not tax coffee or spinach or impose a tax based upon the number of blades of grass in a taxpayer’s yard? Just because the government needs revenue to fund some general spending program that has broad benefits doesn’t mean that an arbitrarily selected group of people should pay the tax. o_O

The 62 cents per pack of cigarettes tax increase took effect today. With the recent take over of GM and AIG where will it stop? Has the government over stepped its authority?

me about how the gov continues to step on our civil liberties.
as for the non-smokers,please understand that freedom is as much about putting up with things you don’t like as it is engaging in the activities that you do enjoy!!!
because the next time they start to take away a civil liberty it could be something that you engage in.
just remember this could be the first step towards becoming a communist country.

The goons and criminals in Congress have once again decided to attack smokers..in the name of the children..of course. The democrats have lost their mandate in my eyes. Where is a libertarian when you need one? cigarette taxes hurt the poor far more than the rich and are regressive and stupid. I wish I hadn’t voted for single democrat ever (at least I didn’t vote for Obama). Bleh. Smokers revolt! In a time of economic depression, why hurt the poor where they hurt the most? Smuggling will be way up. Prohibition always fails eventually. Stand up for your rights.
