Let's Play Fair
Time to be fair!!!
OK, I know all the bad things about smoking as I have heard them all.
Yes, I also know a lot of my readers don't smoke and think others shouldn't either.
Yes, I know there are a lot worse things in this world, don't you?
I like to think the majority of people out there want things to be somewhat fair to all.
Well, let me tell you folks, this ain't fair:
Sure, some will say, 'Well just quit if you don't like it.'
To those of you that do, if they raised the gas tax 156% I would say to you, 'Well if you don't like it just quit driving.'
Using that comparison you would scream and ask for my support in blocking that from happening.
Well, that's why I am asking for your help.
Congress is talking about raising cigarette taxes again by as much as $6.10 per carton.
But as smokers know, cigarettes are already one of the most highly taxed products in the country today.
In fact, since the year 2000, state and federal cigarette excise taxes have been increased over 73 times – driving up the average price of cigarettes over 80%.
Everyone should pay their share of taxes, but a federal tax increase on cigarettes is an unfair burden on smokers – especially when these taxes fund a wide–range of expanding government programs that benefit everyone. And as cigarette sales decline, it’s an unreliable source of revenue.
Singling out smokers for a 156% increase in the federal cigarette excise tax is going too far – tell Congress enough is enough.
Whether you are for or against smoking this is about unfair taxation. I urge you to help by hitting either of the links below and send the "no more tax" message to Congress!!!

OK, it's Friday so let's end on a light note!
An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were
nothing to look at.
I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a mussel.
I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.
What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.
Two termites walk into a bar. One asks, "Is the bar tender here?"
A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says, "A beer please, and one for the road."
Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.
Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.
It's Friday, gimme a break for crying out loud.
So you think you have seen it all?
Let me tell you something, at my age I have been around the block a few times. Quite a few times as a matter of fact just trying to find my house.
OK, so is this Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.
That's a wrap for this week.
Share a smile with someone and have a wonderful weekend.
Stay cool. Stay safe!!
