Franklin:
This has not been extortion from the Tobacco companies. More like
collusion between Government and Tobacco companies to charge huge "sin"
taxes on a commodity. Under the guise of using money for anti-smoking,
health care, etc. What % do you think went for that? The next target is
"fatty" foods. It has already started in NY, lawyers are suing Burger
establishments, it is only a matter of time before the Attorney General
joins the suits.
