[QUOTE="forsooth, post: 161910, member: 1509"] Well, since this thread started out about Harkins' proposed new federal tax, this is my "summing up.." 1. "Pipe Smokers United Against Federal Tobacco Taxes" (or whatever) is not going to make anything happen, except perhaps a little awareness (which is important). 2. There are enough voters to put national figures (House and Senate) who are absolutely opposed to ANY new federal taxes. We hear "Washington doesn't have a tax problem -- Washington has a spending problem" all the time. It's so true! 3. There are enough voters to put someone in 1600 Penn. Avenue who is against any new Federal taxes AT ALL. The last time I checked, AT ALL includes tobacco. My greatest concern is that enough folks develop the "well, there's really nothing we can do..." attitude and we become the failed welfare state of Great Britain...or Italy...or Spain...or Greece...
