The Great Conundrum
Cigarette taxes are going up...Many local politicians believe
the tax revenue will "fill their coffers" and solve their budget
problems.....
On the other hand the "smoking police" are attempting to
stop everyone from smoking anywhere, anytime, any place....
If you get everyone to stop smoking what are the politicians
going to do for tax revenue?....Raise taxes on toilet paper?....
Will then a "toilet police" be created with the goal of stopping
that "habit" also?......Pumps
