We used to travel between South Carolina and Pennsylvania regularly when we kin in SC. There is a huge truck stop on the last exit of I-85 on the SC/NC border.

Just about all northbound traffic stops there for two reasons:

1. Fill the tank. Gas taxes are 10 cents per gallon higher in NC.
   
2. Buy cigarettes. Most people are getting a few cartons to take to their friends back north. But there are a few buying caseloads and paying from wads of $100 bills.

Its comical in a way. Everybody knows that those buying caseloads aren't taking them back to friends up north. But even the NC and SC state troopers who use the border truck stop as a regular turnaround (and provide an added degree of safety for all the cash which flows through it) can't help but laugh at the stupidity of liberals who think there is little or no change in commerce no matter how high taxes are raised.
