"I'm going to New Hampshire or Delaware," said the New Jersey resident. "It'll be worth paying the extra money in gas."

Just went to the smoke store and bought my first carton of off brand smokes since the KS tax increase. Last week this carton cost $14 and some odd cents. Today it was $19.66.

Then I went to fill the wife's car up with gas. Recent tax increase there too. Cheapest Unleaded Gas would be .89 cents a gallon w/o the tax. 1/3 of the price per gallon is in tax.

We live near the state border - on the MO side these taxes have not been raised (yet). Guess what I will do?

Driving business away. We are governed by complete idiots.
