I'm glad they finally mentioned this in that article:
Quote: "We see that as tax profiling," said John Singleton, director of public affairs for R.J. Reynolds. "When you do that, you are clearly picking on 21 percent of the population when the budget problem was statewide."
It's about time someone mentioned that legislators are tax profiling us - it's the same as when cops profile races for crimes. |

That's what I've been saying all along nate, it's unfair to target part of the population when the ultimate benefit goes to the majority. How do you think these new roads, playgrounds, etc. get paid for? Smoker's tax payments.
Thank God the tobacco companies are finally realizing this! It's ludicrous! |
