Federal Tobacco Tax.

While some may not beleive in smoking tobacco the tax that is proposed is very repressive.

The Congress is trying to put a 156% increase on tobacco of $6.10 a carton of cigarettes.

So, just what will this do?

1. Lose tax money as Kansas and Texas did.
2. Close Retail Stores such as mine and the people that work for them!
3. Close Wholesalers as has happened in my area-3 in 9 Months. The people that work for them are gone.
4. The Growers and their employees.
5. Drivers who deliver.
6. Manufactures with all of the people they employee.

While you may not smoke, think about the ramifications of tax money, Billions that will be lost. Where will it be picked up? Your pocket book!
