Leave it to the Donks to tax the s**t out of things and use the revenue to pay for massive social spending programs, making more people dependent on the Giant Government Nipple Solution. In this case, premium cigars are the target and children’s health insurance is the recipient. Supposedly. Yeah, RIGHT.
Currently, the tax is five cents. Under a bill being considered by Congress, that tax would rise to a whopping ten dollars! I don’t smoke cigars, I can smell the damn things a mile away, and yes, some taxation is necessary (even with items which are not necessarily good for us), but the Donks are definitely going apes**t on raising our taxes. And remember, they (with help from the left and MSM) suckered the American electorate into voting them into the Congressional majority, and this is but one result.
