It’s the idea that you can get away with raising taxes as long as you don’t say the word ‘tax‘. And the consequences are disastrous for the average middle class or poor people, and a boon to big business and the wealthy.
-New York Assemblyman Richard Brodsky
Non’smokers love themselves some high cigarette taxes. More money for state coffers, less people smoking, sticking it to the dregs of society… hey, it’s a WIN, WIN, WIN!
I’ve stated several times on this board that high taxation on cigarettes is unfair, but I doubt most non’smokers can fathom the position. They’re not being hurt by it so why even try? Well maybe this little article will get the brain juices flowing…
Instead of saddling the poor and middle class with more taxes or selling off America’s assets left and right, wouldn’t it make more sense to get spending under control?
