Wally-Mart in trouble locally

5. I'd like to see the growing, manufacturing and sale of tobacco
products made illegal in this country and made illegal for U.S.
companies selling tobacco products abroad. Absent that, I'd like to see
another $5 a pack tax imposed against cigarettes and a suitable increase
in the tax assessed against cigars, "dip," and similar tobacco products.
Have a nice, smoke-free day!
You are just like the people at my church who don't like gambling. They
went to the parish pastor and told him that Bingo was gambling and that
it was a sin and that they wanted the Friday night Bingo stopped. The
pastor, a wise Catholic priest, said to them that he would be happy to
shut down Bingo every Friday night if they would write a $10,000 check
to the church each month. Bingo is still played every Friday night.
Alcohol is just as bad as tobacco why not make both illegal? Then you
and your buddies who think the same way can then write big fat checks to
the local, state and federal governments to cover the lost tax revenue.
