I read this in ForbesFederal Tax Hike Drives Roll-Your-Own Smokers To Pipe Tobacco - Forbes Funny really

 

[Vocalek]

From the Forbes article:

So how much has this tax-avoidance-by-substitution cost Uncle Sam? The GAO estimated that the shift to pipe tobacco and big cigars means the fed has realized somewhere between $615 million and $1.1 billion less in taxes than if the product mix hadn’t changed.

It couldn't have happened to a nicer Uncle.

On the subject of this country needs an old fashioned rebellion ...
Just heard on the news that Obama's IRS (and he does pull strings there) ...
will be tax our Olympic athletes for those winning medals.
Oh, that's motivation ... Go for the Gold ... but if you win
then ya will get a big bill from the IRS.

To bad officials at government agencies are appointed and not elected.
Well, just speaking for the public ... The Nanny State just loves the agencies.

It's also your IRS. If Romney wins it be his IRS. Doesn't really matter "who's" it is, just what they are doing. Sorry you
Don't like Obama, I see Canada is right above us, his government isn't up there ...?
