“Well....it’s about time something other than cigarettes was taxed! ....the costs shouldn’t be saddled on just ONE consumer product...spread the burden.”
Did I fall asleep and wake up on DU? How about dropping the taxes on cigarettes? Ever think of that? Spread the burden?
How about get the hell out of my life!
Please tell me you were being sarcastic and I just am too stupid to tell. Please. Please.

BTW. The RYO tobacco tax has already been thwarted..
The cut has been altered and it has been re branded as “pipe Tobacco”
It now sells for 15 lb again vice Obamas $63 lb
FUBO!

“I haven’t drank soda in many years and I don’t smoke either.”
Move along then. Nothing to see here. Don’t worry about it.
As long as it doesn’t affect you just sit there eating your oatmeal.

With 0bama plundering the country I believe corporate tax accountant will be one career opportunity that will never feel the pinch of downsizing.

Doubt it. Look at some of the responses. Pathetic.

Yeah right. They’ll get more than a dime.

I love oatmeal. I had a bowl of it the morning before I went to the TEA party in Belton, Texas.
My kids and wife drink soda and my wife smokes.

I thought cigarette taxes were going to take care of that jiffy...I'm buying my cigarettes from the Islamic terrorists.
They don't charge near as much as the Potomac terrorists do and you can skip the lecture.
About time that happened with Dr. Pepper.

Looking at the design on the Pepsi can makes me puke.

Not to describe someone who believes those ideas.

I really don’t care much about soda, or wine, but if you mess with my beer, you’ll be wishing you hadn’t!!

I bet he’s chicken to increase the tax on alcohol.That will never get passed as long as Ted Kennedy is a Senator.

geeze louise...take a pill.
Of course they shouldn’t be taxing ANY of it. But, I’m serious as a heart attack.... if we can’t stop them...why should I ALWAYS be the one taxed on cigarettes??? Let ‘em tax something else already.

you shouldn’t be the one.
Let them tax nobody else already.
Just because you are taxed don’t take glee that others are taxed and should be taxed more.
I have never smoked but to me smoke is the smell of Freedom. I love the smell now. No joke.
