Well, the ol' boy said he wouldn't raise taxes on people who make less than 250,000 a yr., but cigarettes have now gone up by about 6 bucks a carton and it's KILLING people in the c-store industry -- I know, b/c I work for a c-store distrubion center.
That increase in cigarette taxation that you refer to is not upon income and is not a function of Congressional legislation. It is upon a product and a function of state legislation.
