Enjoy smoking after working hard all day to pay half your earnings to the
Government? Well, you're going to get screwed some more and without the
benefit of Vasoline.

Jacking up a tax for a glorified welfare program your kids will never enjoy=

seeing the benefits is anti-American. A tax on a specific class of people
is supposed to be for the benefit of that class, not some other unrelated
class. For example, when you pay property tax it is supposed to be for
property related services, not welfare parasites. But welfare parasites is=

precisely who will benefit from your jacked up cigarette tax.

Cigarette smoking is not a sin. But there are those in Government who
sponsor this inflated tax consider your habit a sin and you deserve a sin
tax. Well, the only sinning going on is in Washington, D.C., not in your
private car or home or in the great outdoors where you are confined to
enjoying your pastime.

You might be interested in knowing that in some third world countries, a
pack of cigarettes sells for 35 cents equivilant in U.S. currency. How
much are you paying for a pack? Soon you will be paying 10 times the world=

price for cigarettes, largely to enrich the pockets of greedy spendthrift
politicians.
