I Had No Idea All Smokers Were Mega Wealthy

People would be smoking and fall asleep.

That's dope. There's opium in some of those cigarettes.

Brain dead left wing sheep just drool and say ORANGE MAN BAD!

Wow, this going to hit the poor very hard.

Nobody’s forcing them to smoke.

Nobody’s forcing them to smoke.

that's true.....but folks will.

All this will do is drive up illegal cigs....much like what NYC has done, which lead to the tragic death Eric Garner.

Nobody’s forcing them to smoke.

And nobody if forcing women to have abortions. So how about a huge tax on those?

It's a shame some people lost American values in our country. Taxation was not created so that government can beat you into submission of government demands. The left thinks that's what taxation is to be used for.

Most of the smokers I see look just like low and middle income people. But now that I know they’re rich, tax the bastards.

Democrats propose 'exceedingly regressive' tobacco and nicotine tax hikes

Democrats are pushing to increase tobacco and nicotine taxes to help fund their multitrillion-dollar spending package.

Smoking is a choice.

Smoking is a choice.

so? so is working.

what this is, is clear, and obvious massive tax hike on the poor, working class folks that tend to be the smokers

xiden lied

 

[bodecea]

I see signs all over the place saying "WE WILL NOT SELL TOBACCO TO ANYONE MAKING LESS THAN $400,000".

You need to pay attention more.

Smoking is a choice.

Why is it that poor people smoke? Or is it they smoke, therefore are poor? Why not save the money for other things like food, entertainment, their kids?

 

[bodecea]

Wow, this going to hit the poor very hard.

But the dems don't care about the poor

Smoking is a choice.....just like spending money on the best phone or top end anything.

 

[bodecea]

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.

Smoking is a choice. Let people smoke if they want to spend the money. It's not my business.

 

[bodecea]

So self righteous. Wow now it’s cool to prey on the lower classes. Do yourself a favor and check out the social and economic demographics of smokers.

Why do you think only the lower classes smoke? Regardless, it's a choice.

those are all choices…and they are all taxed too.

 

[bodecea]

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

Smoking, therefore paying that tax, is a choice.

 

[bodecea]

those are all choices…and they are all taxed too.

You are right....they are all choices also. Don't choose....don't pay a tax on it.

 

[struth]

Smoking is a choice.....just like spending money on the best phone or top end anything.

or low end anything…or work…

i agree they are all choices..life is full of them. The more we have, the freer we are

So why do you want to rob people of the freedom to make choices?

 

[bodecea]

They won't like not being able to afford smokes

Smoking is a choice tho. I don't like not being able to afford a high end BMW......oh well.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Why is it that poor people smoke? Or is it they smoke, therefore are poor? Why not save the money for other things like food, entertainment, their kids?

If they're poor, 9 times out of 10 it's because they had kids they could never afford in the first place. You know, choice. But when they have kids they should have never had, we don't tax them, we subsidize them by supporting those kids for them.
