Raising taxes

Should the goverment raise taxes on alcohol and cigarettes to eliminated raising taxes on everyday things?

Answer #1

Nice comment Toad. There is also another possibility that those who smoke and drink will stop all together, then you would have to pay all the taxes

Answer #2

If you raised taxes that high on cigs and booze, people would just buy them illegally to avoid the outrageous taxes.

Is there a reason you think the burden of government should fall only on those who smoke or drink…or are you just hoping for a free ride?

Answer #3

I think they should although I love to drink alcohol and have a good time why not raise them on things like that first instead of everyday needed things

Answer #4

YES!

Answer #5

You’re about to see taxes on everything rise - on some items, out of sight.
