Are we regressing as a society?

Feb 15, 2009 02:40

I like to smoke and drink...a lot. Yeah, of course I know it's not good for me, but that's what freedom is all about...right? I have the freedom to make a few bad choices. I have freedom of religion. I have the freedom to protect my family and my property from people that might want to steal it from me, with deadly force if necessary. Thus the ( Read more... )

They know we're not going to stop. That's why they keep raising the taxes! Smokers are an easy target.

FYI, just say this on a tobacco site:

On 2/5/09 the President signed in to law the SCHIP bill which will go into effect on April 1st, 2009. This will have a dramatic effect on the prices of RYO tobacco and Accessories.

In a nut shell we are looking at a price increase, due to Federal Taxes, of $23.68 per pound of RYO Tobacco. A bag of Gambler Tobacco, for example, that currently costs $15.96 would now cost $39.64. You have until April 1st, 2009 to enjoy the current pricing. Because this is a federal tax it will affect every retailer nationwide.

Due to this taxation we have to make a small, temporary, change to the amount of inventory we currently handle and we would like to ask for your patience if orders are delayed more than 2-3 days while we sort all this out.

We thank you for your continued patronage and we will forward on information as it becomes available.

Oh well that's just fucking great! Okay, I guess I am going to be quitting smoking altogether.

Figure out the best way to store it and buy pounds :)

I think I might, but it's just delaying the inevitable. I can see a little increase, but more than double!!! That's bullshit!

I will preamble my next phrase with, you know me, you know that I think if you want to do it, just go right ahead.

and then there is the smartass part of me that giggles when I hear smokers complain about smoking because it sounds like people refusing to leave a sinking ship but complaining about the increasing "humidity" problem. hehe

I agree, it is a sinking ship. Smoking is about to be a thing of the past.
