[From The Deer Stand]

So, in Minnesota, the Democrat-controlled legislature and governor increased the tax on a pack of cigarettes by $1.60 to pay for the new Minnesota Vikings stadium, increased taxes on those evil rich folks, voted to force daycare operators to join the union (a little vote-payback, eh?), and increase a barrage of other taxes to the tune of a total of over $2 billion. Their goal: eliminate the state debt and spur on business. Good luck morons! You poor taxpayers of Minnesota. When will you learn at the polls?

so all the smoking tax increase ‘investment’ is going to pay for health care for inidigent smokers,right?

not a New Jersey billionaire’s shrine, right?

So if Erin Murphy is correct and smoking taxes reduce smoking, what do higher income taxes do?

If smoking is so bad, why not ban it? is it prohibited in the penumbra? isn’t the state profiteering from it unethical?

Yeah, I'm a little tired of being "Minnesota Nice" around here. I want to start knocking heads together, because people are truly--STUCK ON STUPID HERE!!!
