[QUOTE="forsooth, post: 161865, member: 1509"] Taxes on tobacco and other "choices" don't go to the so-called intended target. The collected taxes become a SLUSH FUND to be doled out by politicians, primarily as a power perk. Proof? Look at the humongous tobacco settlement of a few years ago as well as the largess of tobacco taxes already in place. Are they going to their "intended targets?" No. H, No! IMHO, we have to fight this as an overarching resistance to ANY new taxes. Pipe smokers alone, even if united with one voice, can do very little, especially in one little segment of the tax code. We must vote (as puros_bran indicates) for those who are closest to the Constitution. I say NO NEW TAXES and decrease the size and scope of the federal govt. per "original intent" of the Founding Fathers. In my state, a new provision was instituted in the state tax code. Starting next April, if you WANT to pay state tax over and above what is required, you are welcomed to do so using your tax form. The folks who are calling for OTHERS to pay more taxes can put their dollars where their mouth is. (You know they won't!) (Sorry, I'm currently being treated for "aggravated rant syndrome," and the current inhabitants in Washington aren't helping any!) [/QUOTE]
