Are you a socialist McGroin? If not, then, well, you're out of luck...

BTW, do you know a chap called Phil McCrack?

I think the tax on ciggies is too low. It needs to be high enough to pay the cost of keeping your stinky butts alive that last two weeks when you die of a self inflicted wound(smoking). Or, you can not pay the tax but sign a waiver stating that the taxpayers dont have to keep you alive after 50 years of age.

now go to your republican history profesor and ask what happends when one party gets uncheck control of any nation.

Oh, i forgot. Republicans are just saints.....

As for economists, they are kinda funny. They remind me of communists. They cling onto a utopic idea and refuse to understand that real life doesn't validate it in all cases.

"It needs to be high enough to pay the cost of keeping your stinky butts alive that last two weeks when you die of a self inflicted wound(smoking)."

Here in the UK, we're paying about $7 for a pack of cigarettes..and the tax income from that is about 3 times the amount spent on treating *all* cancer related patients(including research).
Basicly, the goverment can't afford for people to quit smoking..

I always get a chuckle out of the folks who talk about taxing cigarettes out of existence.
Raise taxes on smokes, more folks stop smoking, gov't income drops.
Raise taxes on smokes, more folks stop smoking, gov't income drops.
etc etc ad nauseum until noone (expcept the filthy rich) smokes.

Seems like that's what's happening in this neck of the woods, they've hiked the tobacco tax several times since I moved up here.

But what happens when they finally tax cigarettes so much that everyone quits smoking?  Gov't gonna lose a fair chunk of change.

So its OK for the Nicotine Delivery System companies to KNOWINGLY construct a product that is as addictive as heroin, and then KNOWINGLY work on ways to increase the addictiveness of that product while KNOWINGLY attempting to hook new users at a young enough age to buy more of this product over their lifetime?

Sure, those guys aren't liable at all... :rolleyes:

When the surgeon general has been telling us that tobacco is bad for us for better than forty years, and the general populace knew it before that, (the term coffin nails referring to cigarettes dates back to at least the 30's) this woman bears no responsibility?  

It is known that head butting a window can cause bleeding... but is I choose to do it, then can I sue the window company?

Besides, the Tobacco companies were un-knowing dupes of Native Americans.  When they made an addict of Sir Walter Raliegh, they knew what they were doing.:D

So you weren't implying that we have gotten socially worse since the Democrats gained control of the House? What exactly did you mean then?

The social moral decline and skyrocketing murder rates are tied to the Democrats, since about the mid- 60's. Yes.

Rip,

What are you talking about?  Crime stats have been going down!  And murder rates of people over 25 has been going continuously down since '70, which is as far back as I could quickly find stats.  Go to the Bureau of Justice Statistics website:
