Southerners...Civil War......GITT.

Southerners...Civil War......GITT.
The Civil War had nothing to do with abolishing slavery. As for secession, all states have the right to nullify laws that are unconstitutional. What I cannot demand from you is to abide by point 1 2 3 and 4 despite the fact I have failed to carry out point 1 myself. If I did this, I´d be giving...- jorgesoler

The Future of Pipe Smoking
Warren, so why is it, according to you, that the drop in fuel prices are stimulating the economy? As for tobacco, as an economic policy tool intended for social engineering, higher taxes are useless in curving demand, but they will create the incentives where black market will flourish.

The Future of Pipe Smoking

The Future of Pipe Smoking
The fact you raise tax does not necessarily imply you will collect more revenues. Tax, like every other market, is open to competition. And the cheaper the tax burden, the more consumers/bidders you will get. This is why some US or UK manufacturers are exploiting China or Bangladesh: they offer...- jorgesoler

The Future of Pipe Smoking
The reason why the UK tax and revenues office is loosing money is because of people like me who are happy to bend the rules and buy tobacco somewhere else where the tax burden is not so high (Laffer curve).- jorgesoler
