Sadly you think people are a game....they aren't.

RW thinks trolling is a game.

No, FOOL
You do not get to choose whether your children should infect other children and their teachers

Children have been infecting other children, teachers and parents for ages. Back to school has always spread viruses. It's just that in the past, we all just caught it, got over it and built up our immunity. Today, the Democrat regime has used fear and intimidation to limit the freedom of adults and children for a stupid virus with a 95% to 99% rate of survival. You are such a Marxist tool.

Property tax bills are sky high to cover all those "excessive force" payouts to the victims of police brutality.

Which is a total farce. Funny you can't recognize when you are being screwed by your government.

https://smallbusiness.chron.com/taxes-billboard-advertising-34502.htmlIf we just have to tax something we should tax advertising. All the signs and billboards clutter and cheapen the view. It interrupts TV and internet and simple conversations. It deliberately distracts while providing no benefit to anyone. Also I'm pretty sure second-hand advertising is dangerous.

Categorized as outdoor advertisement, billboards are subject to sales tax when their billboard services are sold to others. The tax amount is determined by the cost of the advertisement purchase amount and the applicable sales tax percentage in that state. The purchaser is responsible for paying the sales tax amount while the billboard owner is responsible for any additional taxes on the board, such as property and business taxes.

Taxes on Billboard Advertising

The Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA) estimated that there were more than 400,000 billboards spread throughout the United States as of 2011. These advertising properties market an assortment of products and services, and are also used for various communications, including public...

8.50 X 2 X 30 = $510 not $750. Still a good chunk of cash though. But then it's really none of your business in the first place what folks want to spend their money on. Only a dyed in the wool Marxist (like you) would worry about that shit.

He was quoting someone who said cigs were $12 a pack where they live.

A Smoking tax is not an income tax. It should not be used for general funds but targeted to reducing smoking and for smoker's healthcare. It's an extra tax and should provide something to those who are force to pay it.

Tobacco and liquor taxes are known as Pigouvian taxes and meant to offset negative externalites of the things being taxed.

Carbon taxes and gas taxes are also Pigouvian taxes.

The money goes into a general revenue pool, not directly to the entities which bear the cost of the negative externalities. However, money is fungible, so in effect that is where the money is going.

The Dems don't care....they just want the money....that's all.

All 50 states, red and blue, have a cigarette tax.

So it ain't just da dems who just want the money.

Works for me

Can‘t ban cigarettes, tax them out of existence
$8.50 a pack now

Why ban them or tax them out of existence?

You don't have to smoke and for people who do smoke it's no one's choice but their own to do it, not yours.

Or ban all things not good for you while you're at it. Sugar, high fructose corn syrup, alcohol, processed foods, soft drinks, and so on. Anything not healthy for you should be banned right?


Go away and leave other people alone.

 

[Likkmee]

Wow, this going to hit the poor very hard.

Hopefully this will drive them to quit. Conservatives want to be free to make bad choices, and then inflict the results of their bad choices onto others. You want to smoke, and have other people pay for your health care. I prefer that smokers be reminded every time they buy a pack of cigarettes that there is a big costs to stupid decisions.

Tobacco lobby. Economy of tobacco growing regions. PAC dollars. People framing it as "personal choice" bullshit.

Any current taxes must be far to low. No evidence advertising is being taxed to near extinction.

Yes. Conservatives what people to be free.

No, actually Conservatives don't want people to be free to inflict bad choices on others, hence why Conservatives prosecute criminals, and don't let them back on the streets like the left's doing in Chicago and NY.

I think smoking is a horrible idea, but people certainly have the right to make that horrible choice. If they get sick from it, they should pay their medical bills and deal with the consequences.

Libs, anti-freedom folks, want to control people's healthcare, and choices...they don't believe in freedom
