Liberals = Lifestyle Nazis.

I'm sick of it.  The general non-smoking public have no earthly idea that the states are using the taxes smoker's pay on every pack of cigarettes to ban, restrict and control them by the lawmakers.

This has got to stop.  Anyone else paying taxes would never put up with this blatant abuse of authority.

The Tobacco Settlement money is NOT being paid for by the government OR Big Tobacco.  But by the smoker's 110% who pay taxes on cigarettes.

Does anyone understand this yet???!!!

Colorado lawmakers don't want smokers, then smokers in Colorado do not want them to have their tax dollars either!

Leave this decision up to the private business owners!

 

"The role of government is not to create wealth.
The role of government is to create an environment
in which the entrepreneur or small business or
dreamer can flourish.  And that starts with rule of law,
respect of private property, less regulatory burdens on the
entrepreneur, open banking laws so that all people
have access to capital, and good tax policy."

It's actually even worse..............many of the anti smoker lobbyists (that is exactly what they are) are being PAID by those same tax dollars, often in the form of grants.
