Tobacco tax story

[SideShow Bob]

Ask Kazoo if he can get you tax free cigs from the Rez. They used to be tax free there.

Do any legislators read the bills before they vote?
The recent $900 Billion Covid 19 relief bill was 5,593 pages and the Senators had 2 hours to read it before they voted.

They read the bills on their desk just like we all read terms and conditions when joining a new site.

Whoever writes these things would be legend if they just put some catch 22 in there for legislators.

"By voting for this bill, the senate agrees to arbitration of all gun control legislation prior to any vote to be conducted in Baggs Wyoming, only in the month of January and only utilizing an approved arbitrator whose permanent annual residence is in Baggs Wyoming."

I'm sure The Drifter's Inn could use the business. The senators could definitely use The Drifter's Inn.

I doubt many smokers voted yes on this bill. Non-smokers don't care.

I think more non-smokers care more than you might think. I think people should recall the Boston tea party was over a 10% tax on tea. It is flat BS that a tax can be more than the product. I'm often confused as to why weed gets a free pass. Does weed come with cancer warnings? In terms of proportions weed might actually be under taxed. I'm not anti-weed. I have thoughts on it's vilification too. Just saying the tobacco tax is abusive.

Isn't the weed tax also very high? Weed stores still can't even take cards in a conventional manner. They aren't getting off light.

Weed is taxed at 15%.
