im not sure if this post is okay but ill try anyway!
To all smokers who are being tortured with high taxes in your state please read this and take action!
The new bill being voted on is asking for 90 cent increase!
im sure some of you are not smokers and could careless and your right you shouldn't. I'm asking those who do and feel torn between gas and smokes! I remember the days when all i need was ten bucks and be set! Now ten bucks gets me one pack and BARELY A GALLON OF GAS with no change left over! This tax increase on everything is just retarded its doing more damage to the economy now and we'll be screwed even more if the gov. doesn't take better action! Please vote no, alot of us under dogs are barely making it by as it is now. Smoking is bad, but it doesn't hurt to have crutch every once and while to calm the stress from hard days work and seeing the gas prices continue to rise every week without warning! So help out, more voices the better we stand a chance. After all we shouldn't fear the government they should fear us!
so go here and tell your legislators to vote NO on the tax increase!

Um.....this should probably be in the "serious" section.
Anyway, isn't the point of those taxes to make people have to choose between hurting people and ruining our environment smoking and things they actually need? Also I'm not exactly sure how more taxes "ruin" our economy. And as for who we shouldn't fear shouldn't that be more like: "We shouldn't fear giant companies who profit from harming their customers, those anywhere near their customers, and the environment, they should fear us" ?

Taxes are important for the country, not actually destroying the countries economy. Funds from taxes are usually for building facilities like a bridge, telephone booths, roads, etc...etc... it may even help the homeless and the poor. Its just trying to balance the society. They increase tax for cigarettes, because they realize is not healthy for the body, and they want you (smokers) to reduce smoking for your own sake. Just adapt yourself to the governments decision and support it, they indirectly trying to save you.
As they say, one cigarette means minus one day of your life.
BTW, I don't smoke, and this thread should be placed in the serious discussion, but it's not wrong either since its random. just don't expect to get serious answers if you put it in random discussion.

Not many people realize the effect taxes have on people. Especially those on set salary. Im talking about people who live off that two-week pay check. They barely scrap up $400 dollars on 40+ hours. Im one of them and its hard, I have to keep my job cause i dont have choice. With salary like that its hard to make a living even for by yourself. You have bills, insurance health, dental, car, electricity, credit cards, cable, phone, gas, and school. This needs to be paid off before the end of the month and you can't even write this off for your taxes, you can for some but it doesn't help. Especially if you've taken loan out more than once. By the end of day when i get paid i barely have thrity dollars in my pocket if im lucky and that goes to groceries, gas for my car, and pack of smokes to keep me from going off the deep end. I know smoking is bad for me, but you know what i have perfect blood pressure, and my lungs are fine according to my doctor, and ive been smoking nearly ten years now. Sorry to those who are reading this I rant alot and I have alot to say. As taxes go they are hurting us. People buy less when their broke and they'll do that especially when it comes to gas and cigs. Now food is being taxed even higher than before. If people don't buy the same amount as they did before the tax increase then we'll be seeing higher prices before long because the gov. isn't making enough money.
For example the last register cenus for U.S.A. population of legal citzens is 304,014,274 people now take gas prices $4 a gallon if every citzen purchased 20 gallons worth thats $64 out of your pocket.(everything is times and without tax cuts so this raw numbers and are entirely not perfect) The result would be for one day is $19,456,913,536.00 times that by one year $7,101,773,440,640.00 thats in trillions, and yet we're broke somehow. Now do the same math with cigs. Gas and Cigs pay for alot of the economy and gov. isn't gonna get rid of smoking or drugs cause it keeps their pockets full.
oh yeah we shouldnt fear the gov they should fear us. Is famous quote but i cant remember who said it though. And it's true
