Senator Rodney Tom (D) is proposing a $1.00 per pack cigarette tax saying he wants to make cigarettes so expensive that high school kids can't afford them.
Who is going to challenge that idea? He's saving the kids right? Another do-gooder bleeding heart liberal that thinks he is smarter than the kid's parents and government needs to step in and help these poor misguided high school students.
It's just another tax. It's just another way that the Democrats want to get their grubby hands on your money.
If Senator Tom is really serious about doing what he says, then impose a minimum price that cigarettes can be sold for and remove all taxes. So if you think High school students can't afford $7.00 per pack then pass legislation that mandates a pack of cigarettes must be sold for a minimum of $7.00 and remove your tax.
And one last word for you Senator Tom: the public does not need to be saved by you. We will do just fine when you get out of our lives. No saving needed here.
