Isn't the real crime being committed by the State of NJ by taxing cigs in the first place?
ReplyDelete:)Just checked and Guam is the only one which doesn't have a tax on cigarettes.
DeleteWhen it comes to cigarette taxes we Brits are world beaters. The purchase price of a pack of 20 varies between $11.05 for the cheapest and $12.85 for the most expensive (at current $-£ exchange rates) and those prices are from the cheapest outlets in the sticks; buy them in London and other cities or at service areas on the Motorways (Interstates) and you will be paying even more by as much as 25-35%.
ReplyDeleteThe Globalist scum that govern us have millions of Muslim and sub-Saharan illegals to feed, house and treat for exotic diseases whilst our own homeless sleep on the streets and we have to queue for medical treatment. Hang onto your Second, cousins, or you will be joining us.
P.S. Regular gas is £4.92 ($6.40)/US gallon. Diesel is even higher meanwhile my County is having to close down public services and the roads in my small town are full of potholes because of a 114 million £'s shortfall in their budget.
I live in a small 2 bedroom bungalow (ranch style) and my Council (property) tax is just over $2000 per anum. On top of this we (the goverment) pay £53 million a day to the EU in order for them to screw us at every turn and keep unloading their third world predators and parasites on us on top of the ones we are bringing in from the Middle East, Africa and the West Indies ourselves.
You may have gathered from all this that I am not a happy bunny!
Very interesting and thanks for the info.
