Cigarette

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

A pack of cigarettes will have a 1 dollar tax on it starting Wednesday, April 1st 2009. Maybe it’s a giant April Fools’ joke directed at smokers, maybe it’s for real. I would recommend you buy as many packs as you can before Wednesday to save some major kablinkie. So if you smoke, or are thinking about becoming addicted in the near future, go to your local cigarette store and buy up the whole supply before they start costing you a lung and a trachea. If you don’t you could end up kicking yourself, and your leg will be too tired to then kick the habit.

“Medical groups see a tax increase right in the middle of a recession as a great incentive to help persuade smokers to quit.” HAHAHA…

You might be wondering how I manage to keep giving out these awesomely good ideas that could change the world and make me an emperor, well, the fact of that matter is I have so many ideas these are the ones at the bottom of the barrel BUT also I would really like them to be put into action, because I care…
