Cigar Tax Discussions
I just did a search, and found quite a few threads on SCHIP, the New York and Florida tax increases, which is fine. California, though is now trying to impose even more onerous taxation as the state government is broke, and will cease paying many types of benefits to close a $24,000,000,000 shortfall.
Of COURSE taxing tobacco products is one of the very FIRST things mentioned, and at the rates being proposed would raise $2,000,000,000 of the $24,000,000,000. Chris McCalla of the IPCPR has already fired a salvo against such taxes. Quote:
