EVERYONE PAYS TOBACCO TAXES

SMOKERS ARE NOT THE FED! THEY DON’T PRINT THEMSELVES MONEY TO PAY EXTORTION!THEY SHIFT ALL THAT MONEY FROM SOME OTHER PART OF THEIR BUDGET,

OUT OF THE REST OF THE ECONOMY – out of YOUR pocket!

STATES ARE SUCKING BILLIONS OF DOLLAR$ OUT OF THEIR ECONOMIES, AND NOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS JUMPED ON THE ‘SOAK SMOKERS’ BANDWAGON, TOO. Tens of millions of smokers are not going to quit smoking, no matter how many more billions of tax and drug industry dollars are spent on propaganda, disinformation, and outright lies in the attempt to brainwash them all.

Part of this EXTORTION is the Master Settlement Agreement (tobacco settlement), which is sucking about $2.50/pack out of the GENERAL economy. Remember, the Federal Government sent out REBATE checks to 'help stimulate the economy' BEFORE the gas, mortgage, and banking 'crises'. In addition to the billions being lost in smoking ban areas, MANY STATES have been SUCKING BILLIONS of dollars out of THEIR economies with some of the most MASSIVE TAX INCREASES in ALL of American history, for the past several years. NO one is talking about the effect of THAT on our economy, as it's all 'on smokers' (they ERRONEOUSLY think). No matter WHAT BUSINESS YOU are in, YOU are LOSING A FORTUNE because SMOKERS are PAYING EXTORTION. The ONLY reason the economy of The People's Republic of California (and other states) stayed afloat as long as it did under this HUGE burden is THANKS to the Native Americans and the BOOTLEGGERS.YES, it seems we are stoopid, andDID NOT LEARN A THING from ALCOHOL prohibition & Al Capone, (or DRUG prohibition!). WE ARE REPEATING HISTORY.Watch for huge increases in convenience store closings, more unemployment, and new increases in CRIME.

NOW, WE HAVE ‘liberal’ STATES WITH ENORMOUS DEFICITS, sucking the money out of more conservative states, VIA FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REDISTRIBUTION. THEY ARE SUCKING TAX DOLLARS DIRECTLY FROM THE PAYCHECKS OF THE CITIZENS OF KENTUCKY AND OTHER STATES, AND/OR FURTHER INFLATING OUR MONEY SUPPLY, TO COVER THE LOSSES OF OUR MORE ‘COMMUNIST’ STATES. THIS WILL FURTHER DEPRESS THE ECONOMY FOR EVERYONE.

This is at the very root of the fallacy of collectivism. Karl Marx said, "The philosophy of the communists can be summed up in the single sentence, Abolition of private property'. God says (Exodus 20:15, KJV), 'Thou Shalt Not STEAL'. That IMPLIES PRIVATE PROPERTY." Our new president elect said, "I want to spread the wealth around". SCARY!What people seem to forget is that governments DO NOT produce wealth. Businesses and working people DO.

SOMEONE MUST CREATE WEALTH BEFORE GOVERNMENTS can redistribute it!

ALL taxes, no matter how 'worthy' their purpose, suck resources AWAY from our PRODUCTIVE (WEALTH PRODUCING) activities, resulting in LESS FOR EVERYONE. And, even if, as Marx suggested, we put ALL the 'means of production' into the hands of an all powerful STATE, that can NEVER result in wealth for all, as this system runs contrary to both human nature AND the laws of God (Thou shalt not steal). People just are NOT highly enough motivated when they don't OWN 'their stuff'.Businesses (and people) are just not willing to take big risks, when they fear government interference, and CONFISCATION of the fruits of THEIR labor! And, in a free market, BUSINESS FAILURE is the penalty and SELF CORRECTION when owners mess up. On the other hand, GOVERNMENT controlled activities are NOT subject to that limit. THEY are governed by POLITICS. With the police power of the STATE to confiscate wealth from those who created it, essentially at the point of a GUN (which actually makes the workers into the slaves & chattel - property - of the state, by the way), ever more resources can be poured into failed and failing government institutions, and there is NO remedy for it. This impoverishes EVERYONE. If you don't believe this analysis, just check out the history of ANY communist country. (REFERENCE The Communist Manifesto - READ AT LEAST THE 10 PLANKS)

PLEASE HELP STOP THIS! REPEAL TOBACCO TAX INCREASES! JUST SAY NO TO EXTORTION!

VOTE OUT ALL BIG TAX & SPENDERS, AND PROHIBITIONISTS!

ANTI-smoking is a SCAM. Health LIES stuff the coffers of drug companies, lawyers, and the anti-smoking industry.
