so watch out

that was your warning

More horse crap courtesy of your federal tax code. Federal taxes will HIKE up the price of cigarettes this week. And to fund what? CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE. Can anything, I mean anything be more hypocritical? You're funding children's health with something the government can't for the life of it deal illegal but IRS codes it to death as a terrible substance.

Now I don't smoke cigarettes, never have, however this is unjust. Our federal government is using tax code to punish people who use a legitimate and legal product. Now it does come down to freedom of choice, you choose to smoke. However, don't misinterpret freedom of choice from selective IRS legislation. If we can't make the product illegal (see prohibition and its wonderful outcome), we should not allow our government to simply tax it out of control. Write your local politician and tell them "this is garbage and a full expression of taxation without representation".

I believe fully in children being taken care of and having the capacity to have their health taken care of. PLEASE, don't wrap this into bullsh!t IRS legislation!! Is simply minimizes the problem!
