Anonymous Coward User ID: 642453 Netherlands 03/25/2009 11:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tax Yachts and Private Jets. Sin taxes are nothing more than behavior control and war on the working class. EXACTLY right! They have programmed the populace to consider smoking a social taboo, so those who are anti-smoking won't be protesting this "sin tax". Those who wouldn't accept the BS are being punished for their rebellion against state policy. The rich will smoke regardless of the price. BTW, people were a lot healthier back when smoking was popular, and there is solid evidence that smoking is good for us. Can't have a healthy population now, can we! . |

If people were smoking pure tobacco I would agree with you. However, pure tobacco has not seen the cigarette industry in forever courtesy of the tobacco industry trying to make their product more addicting. As far as I'm concerned, I would love to see the tax go up and people to quit solely to put these companies out of business. They can take their chemically shit and stuff it up their corporate ass. |

Really? What's more likely.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 624417 United States 03/25/2009 11:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A BYO protest is not much more than an expensive pep really where you don't even get to drink what you brought. Same goes for the "Tea Parties". Yes they are getting attention and yes that is a good thing, and yes I plan on going to one here locally soon, but the spirit of the protest is all wrong. When our founding fathers had a tea party they dumped the British rulers tea! That is what stung the most. They destroyed something of iconic value to British rule. What are we doing here 200 some years later? Bringing our own booze to a protest to waste. We should be ashamed. Not because we are getting fed up enough to protest, but because we have forgotten how. |
