Tea Party
Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Holy crap! It’s not a good time to be an addict . . . rolling tobacco now costs nearly as much as gold. Check it out:
ROLL YOUR OWN TOBACCO from $1.0969 per pound to $24.78 per pound
This is an increase of $23.68 per pound.
Prices Effective as of 01 Apr 2009.
The single largest tax increase in U.S. history. Directed at a largely poor demographic, and passed by a president who promised not to increase taxes on poor people (don’t get me wrong – for a rich guy politician I appreciate Obama’s wimpy centrism far more than his predecessors feverish conservate evilism, it’s just that tobacco is my favorite vegetable).
This new Public Law No: 111-3 will raise RYO tobacco taxes nearly 2200% from $1.10/lb to $24.78/lb while raising cigarette taxes 158% ($0.62/pack) and most other tobacco products at the same 158%.
I’m soon to be suffering withdrawl symptoms, so I may be a bit cranky.
Slag off, tossers!
