GeorgeS Posted March 7, 2009 #1 Posted March 7, 2009 Just stopped at the smoke shop, was told that next week our new fearless leader has slapped a $5.00 a carton new Federal Tax on, per carton. Goes in effect next week. I'm wondering if motorcycles will be on the hit list !! ( an obvioius evil ) must be taxed !! :stirthepot: And!! Its NOT Raining in Seattle Today !!!!! :snow2: Its Snowing:mad:
SilvrT Posted March 7, 2009 #2 Posted March 7, 2009 so... what did a carton cost ya? I haven't bought a carton for ages but at $7.50 a pak I'm guessing the carton cost about $70 ... yikes!
GeorgeS Posted March 7, 2009 Author #3 Posted March 7, 2009 the lady said, $5.00 a carton, increase next week, its a Federal Tax. Anyway, thats what she told me. On top of whatever they cost in your state. So, I imagine there will be other new tax's on other things, stay tuned !!
MiCarl Posted March 7, 2009 #4 Posted March 7, 2009 I'm wondering if motorcycles will be on the hit list !! ( an obvioius evil ) must be taxed !! :stirthepot: The carbon cap and trade scheme will make gasoline too expensive to ride. Don't worry though, it's not a tax - it's a fee.
