I’m about to throw down the smokes for good. I’ll be giving myself a great tax cut!

Better yet, with the money saved I can buy lots of ammo!

2200% increase in the tax on tobacco. That says something.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

I say they tax the bottles of vitamin water the people are dumb enough to fall for anyway.

Leave Cola,cigarettes,alone!

What is next---taxing beer?

[Need4Truth]

People who like the tax-free status of their company health benefits could be asked to ante up

asked???? how about forced by an out of control gubmint.

I think I will cry when the time comes to toss my cigarettes, beer, and Diet Coke into the harbor.

Hubby quit smoking a year ago.
I smoke when I drink so I stopped drinking. (i’m not kidding)

I’ve just gotten 500 teabags from Sam’s Club and I’m trying to cut down on Diet Coke.

When they tax Coffee, someone’s going to get hurt.

Republicans need to make the case that when government pays for everyone’s health care, it will run everyone’s life.

“The Senate Finance Committee considers the option of taxing vices to pay for health care reform. “

As taxes make these vices pricey, people will remember that tobacco grows in the ground, and a still is not high-tech. American entrepreneurship will continue to amaze the world.

You know, this is reminiscent of the colonies right around the time of the Stamp Act.

People back then were totally fed up with taxes that amounted to a few percent, and the Crown saw fit to impose more, without giving anything back to the producers.

Geez, I hate when I’m right.
Just before the latest tax increase on cigs, I was telling my customers that soda and snacks would be next. Most laughed at that.

Thank you, Mr. Obama...you’ve already cut my business by a third with the cig tax. Now you buttwipes want to shove the knife in deeper and eliminate another third of my income.
Damn you all to hell.(and I really mean that!)
Mr. Obama, Why do you hate widows and children so much?

It was my dream to run a little country store.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
