Yeah, that’s right, Barry Obama signed the PACT Act (Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking) earlier this year and it’s set to go into effect at the end of this month.
What happened to not taxing anybody making less than $200k? The PACT Act is a regressive, blue-collar tax. Guess what’s exempt from the PACT Act? Cigars. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out why — politicians and rich people smoke cigars.
You assholes. Fuck you, Obama. I guess you want us to get our tar from the Gulf, not from smokes.
Amen!
What’s the difference between a republican politician and a democrat politician?
A: NOTHING. Just a bunch of elitist assholes. They got theirs, screw everyone else.
Are they stupid or is there a hidden agenda? Making smokes expensive does not detour smoking, it creates a black market where they become more desirable especially to teenagers. I know, I have three teens who tell me that they and their friends want cigarettes because the price makes them a status symbol. Tobacco companies, like oil companies, own politicians. Don’t believe the lies. The tobacco business is alive and well and gaining new, young customers with every price/tax increase.
Wake up people, vote 3rd party. Anyone except rep or dem.
