Smokers feeling abused as federal tax hike hits
Link: Smokers feeling abused as federal tax hike hits
“They’re picking on us poor people, the ones that smoke,” Jukes, a 65-year-old who has been smoking since he was a teen, said of the government. “They have been for years.”
Are you fucking kidding me? More than 3 out of 4 of Americans don’t smoke cigarettes – should we all be taxed instead? Should I see a tax increase in my gas or groceries or other necessities, just to finance SCHIP? I’m gonna say the 75% of Americans are just fine with the tax increase on tobacco. If you want to smoke your filthy cancer sticks, then you’ll fucking pay for it. Or, here’s a thought – smoke less? You could also take a jog or learn to play guitar. Or smoke a little hash. That’ll put 65-year-old Jukes right to bed.
