I'm not anti-tax, I'm anti population specific taxes. If it's something that effects everyone, tax everyone to cover it.The PA budget battle has been going on for 18 months, and they've already rejected the vast majority of Gov. Wolf's proposed tax hikes. tobacco and vapor products are about the only things still on the table.
Its easy to say that legislators should tax something else, but that's not realistic. I invite everyone to tell PA legislators what other things they should tax.
My county just passed a measure to tax "other stuff" dispensaries(medicinal) supposedly in order to fund after school youth programs. I voted against it. I don't use that stuff, and I'm for youth programs, but not at the expense of a select population that is completely unrelated.
Unless you're trying to say that the money collected from cigarette taxes will ONLY be going to fund the health care of smokers?
