Okay, Lets talk about Tobacco!
1st Cash Crop of The Colonies.
The Tobacco Industry has paid more Federal Taxes than any other Industry. @ 20O Billion in Taxes a Year to The Federal Govt. only This does not include State Taxes.
There was an agreement between the Tobacco Industry Forced upon Them for each Company to Pay into a Slush Fund Called the MSN to funnell Money to States to Pay for Smoke Related Illnesses. That money went to General State Funds used on everything but what it was intended for.
So, if these Billions of Tax Money are Erased, Where does the money come from?
It may not be the best Product as some say, it is legal at the moment. How many other Products will have to soon follow suit? Second major Product was Alchohol which is also taxed Sky High.
Where do we go with Gas Guzzleing Autos, Power Plants on Coal or switching to Natural Gas Turbines which both, Natural Gas, and Oil are going up.
If I had the Answer, I damn sure wouldnt want to be The Head of State.

How many Law Suits are going on now and who will go out of business?
Oh on and on!
Natural foods in Health Food Centers can no longer say they can cure certain illnesses as the FDA says You cannot do that, it is not prescribed by an approved method, so approves that? The FDA.
