Sheetz said customers usually blame the retailer for price increases. But when it comes to taxation, Sheetz said, their hands are tied. Is this guy for real or are all his customers Democrats?

The Brady people could easily make the same argument about ammunition and firearms.

The tax was passed in January as part of a multibillion dollar package to provide health care for children and certain legal immigrants. Oh ... kay.

They’ll just switch to marijuana - it’s more socially acceptable, cheaper, and available.

What’s your vice? Maybe they should raise the tax on that, for your own good.

Grow your own. It’s easy. Curing is any other story. I’ve got it handled.

“...Obama has increased cigarette carton prices by more than $10 - about 75 cents a pack...”
GREAT math.
Ten packs of cigarettes per carton.
Increase of more than $10.00 per carton.
Let's see:
$10.00(more than) divided by 10 = $0.75.
But the tax plan will WORK!
