Obama ain't raising taxes....ho ho. They have passed a 53% tax on all cigars. This tax will basically force every tobacco store in the country out of business, all the cigar wholesalers, and will remove all cigars from all hotels etc. Nobody will smoke except the very rich and very stupid. The tax is called the SCHIP tax which stands for State Children's Health Insurance Program a tax that mandates placing a computer chip on each cigar wrapper to that all cigars can be traced. The money stolen from us is supposed to go "to the children" natch. We are truly fucked. BTW, Congress passed it last year but Bush vetoed it.
