For you smokers

[RoyJackson]

Our boys and girls in Washington have increased tobacco taxes 2400% (Yes, that's TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED PERCENT) on roll your own tobacco.
That will more then double the cost, if you try to save a buck rolling your own smokes.

Where do these fucktards get off trying to legislate behavior through taxation? This is not what the founders envisioned. When will they learn?

And to think that any tax revenues will go to funding nationalized healthcare...

We know better, it'll go to some Senator's pet project...artificially inseminating hummingbirds or some crap.

I heard taxes on Cigars were going way up as well. I've heard estimates of 900 - 1000%, for all domestic and imported. Estimates put it at .40 - .45 / stick in taxes. Thats an extra 8 -9.00 / box, and then sales tax is charged on top of that.

Just wait... soon he will need money for law enforcement and tax on bullets will skyrocket, then he will need tax money for green energy and the cost of burning fossil fuels will skyrocket, then he will need money for new inner city schools and the cost of property taxes will skyrocket.

Just wait, its coming

$25.00 for a TUBES like the ones for RYO. TUBES... TUBES... So now its going to cost the same for a normal carton. Why not just come out and say we would like to ban tobacco. Of course we will hear the same argument from others who don't smoke.... "I don't smoke so I don't care." Well just wait their turn isn't that far in the future.

Dammit, and now I'm just getting into enjoying cigars...

Damn you people who piss on the freedoms of others because you don't personally enjoy them, damn you!

I'm a HUGE Cigar smoker. It's .40 cents a cigar or $10.00 on a box of 25.

Basically..just bend over and grease up!
