With smokers not purchasing as much tobacco ,how is your state replacing lost tax revenue?

27.October, 2009

It seems smokers are getting the last laugh while your property taxes go up to replace that tax revenue. OUCH!

They have reduced expendatures for roads and bridges, police and other services while they have increased taxes in fuels and things like excessive taxes on telephone lines, "airport fees",alcohol and a bunch of other ways to produce revenue without providing anything in return.

Funny, the same numbers of people are still dying of the same causes as well.

    If fewer people smoke, shouldn’t the savings in health care costs offset the loss of tax revenue? If not, what was all the fuss about in the first place?

    Here in Wyoming we have gone to more direct method of killing people, we can now for $41 excise tax shoot anyone who asks a dumb question. I have never wanted to be a millionaire so badly.

    They give you a choice of jail time or fine/probation quicker than normal, recently, for more simple charges.
