[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1531379, member: 14668"] Perhaps if New York brought their cigarette taxes down to something approaching sanity, there wouldn't [I]be[/I] a black market for untaxed smokes. I don't smoke and I don't live in New York, but I have a real problem with the idea of an overbearing, nanny-state government imposing an absolutely ridiculous tax on a minority who don't have the votes to protect themselves from it. That isn't democracy, it is [I]tyranny[/I]. It makes about as much sense as Emperor Bloomberg outlawing 32 ounce cups of soda pop in NYC. Is this really the role we want government to play in our lives? [/QUOTE]
