What about smokers? Those who follow smoking trends tell us the vast majority of smokers are found in families with lower incomes, so that places them in the 50K and below grouping. A new cigarette tax of $6.20 per carton has already become law. If your family smokes only one carton of cigarettes per week, that additional $6.20 a week adds another $322 a year to the federal tax burden you will be forced to carry.
We have a president who has promised 95% of all Americans will get a tax break. At the same time he is using ninja-like stealth to hide the fact his plans call for tax increases intended to strike every sector of our economy. The double-speak of telling everyone they will have more money in their paycheck, and not telling them how all of his additional planned tax increases will impact their lives is very similar to the ancient shogun speaking to his enemy with friendship and respect, while at the same time arranging for that attack in the dark of night.
