+807 They should raise taxes on twinkies, alcohol, and cigarettes in an effort to help people quit the three main addictions in America, amirite?

they already tax the hell out of alcohol and cigarettes. They just raised the tax on ciggs anyway. People will pay whatever for those things because they're addicted. Pot - Legalize it and tax it. Incredible business model. They won't do that though. There is a 400 billion black market, it creates "jobs" keeping us in a police state, and the government is the #1 importer of illegal drugs as it is.

I'll keep my unhealthy addictions if I want, and my government will stay the fuck out.

I'd keep my addiction of shopping but I can't, because all of the taxes that are increasing from the government stop me from stimulating the economy. Things that can harm others, like alcohol and cigs[not twinkies. That's not fair] should have higher taxes

It would also lessen the burden on taxpayers. And we really need that with all of these ludicrous bailouts the government keeps approving. Legalizing pot would also help. I don't do drugs, nor will I ever, but pot isn't even that bad. Alcohol is worse.

Im a decent sized fellow and ive never eaten a twinkie. Ever. Nor do i smoke or drink. Pull out of the war and use the money on the schools instead and Stop taxing the fuck out of us hard working people and maybe the country and life itself will get alittle easier. OH! and stop paying arod 125 million dollars to fuck around and have fun

The taxes on cigarettes are already obnoxiously high. They cost like ten bucks a pack or something.

By just raising taxes on cigarettes and alcohol people aren't going to stop buying them! They're addicted! It's just going to make them go broke and we see the number of hobos sky-rocket.

Hey idiots, it's a joke. So shut the fuck up and gi watch the news or something, since you seem to be so damn concerned about the economy and taxes. Or even better, stop smoking and drinking. Jesus...people are idiots.
