_AND_ when the taxes are set at the maximum level, many of these
individuals
turn to criminal activity in their illegal purchase of duty free
cigarettes....Spawning an entire black market sub economy.

That's OK. Just arrest them. Let 'em buy their smokes in
jail.


Hmm....

Lets put 30% in of the populace in the slammer, when they lose their jobs it
would likely help the unemployment situation....

Hell, Ill drink to that......

Now....where to get the tax money to pay for all these new jails and for
feeding all these new prisoners...( that now are contributing zilch to the
tax rolls )?

Sorry----no smokers left to sponge tax money off, their all unemployed and /
or incarcerated.......g
