This iReport is part of an assignment:
Tobacco tax increase |
It's Rhetorical
Most States Over The Years Have Always Labeled Any Tax Against Cigarettes As A 'Sin Tax', But None Ever Seem To Go After Alcohol. And Now We Have The Federal Tax, Which Fittingly Takes Place On April 1st.
Unlike Most State Tax's Against Cigarettes, This Federal Tax Will Cover All Types Of Tobacco, From Snuff, Chewing and Roll Your Own, As Well As The Tailor Made. (name brand)

I Support The Cause, But Then I Supported The Lottery Concept For Education. Which 99.9% of States Claim It Would Help. Come To Think Of It, Some States Claim Toll Roads Are Necessary To Off-Set This That or The Other And Will Bring Much Needed Revenue To Their Coffers. (I might have been out sick that day in my schools 'pie chart class') What Happen To The Money. I Understand The Figures ! Where Is All The Damn Money.

This Is Nothing More Then A 'Shake-Down' and It's Easy To Pitch, Remember, It's A Sin Tax.
So Why Isn't Alcohol Ever Touched..
