Buy cigarettes from out of state and if you get a sales tax invoice from your state of residence and don't pay it you can lose your home.

SO,,, The gansters have figured out that just using arm twisting isn't paying the "bills" so they are falling back on the extortion tactic.


They can try all of this that they want but for the most part it is made up of FAIL just like the majority of crap that they have been trying to force down our throats.

Ohio is the biggest hypocrit in this claim too. Here in Ohio they have banned smoking in any indoor public area including businesses. Since the law was enacted Here in Cincy most of the restaurants and bars have closed doors and headed across the river to Newport and Covington. The price of Tobacco was substantially cheaper across the river than here and still is even after adding in the Federal tax so many make a weekly trip there to 'stay in budget'.

This area has lost so much revenue because of a law that was snuck through without any public debate. Now they wish to recoup the losses trough strong arm tactics.

The disease continues to grow.

I wait for the right time only.

so now I guess they check your ID, enter your DL/ID number in the sales transaction, then link your DL/ID to your SS# you gave the DMV for the deadbeat dad scam the Fed required all states to do in order to link your SS to your DL. then they send you a corrected tax return that isn't legally signed by the commissioner of the IRS.

Pay cash, grow a beard, if the store won't sell them w/o an ID, then go elsewhere or cover your ID number and do not hand the clerk your ID.

I honestly haven't seen any signs of enforcement on this yet. I doubt I will. Kentucky tends to snub the Yankee state. LOL

I haven't seen this either, and if I do I will ignore. I try to avoid taxes any time I can. Who wouldn't?

Oh yeah, Timothy Geithner...

The simple solution to a lot of our issues is not just Term limits but limits in Pay for elected officials.

If the job weren't so damned lucrative now we wouldn't have the number of Greedy creeps we have in office.

I know that I have talked to another on this site about his position and while he is an elected official he doesn't recieve a salary.
Whats the likelihood of corruption in office in that town?
My guess would be fairly low.

I think it was Glenn Beck that pointed out that the salary of one Congress critter(anyone of 'em, you pick) is higher than 95% of that of an average working FAMILY; not just one person but the entire family.
How can those in office claim to be working for fair and balanced wealthsharing when you know damned well that they aren't going to cut their own salaries to 'share the wealth': they only want that to apply to those of us on the streets.(oh, one other point, They are all lawyers.)

the old joke about a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean applies to my thoughts on this one.

not just a pay limit but also need to get rid of the life time salary and benefits packages they get. term limits and pay last as long as they do with a max of $150k/year and if they receive anything from any other source, teir gov pay is reduced by the value of the other source income or taxed 100% over $150k. benefits should be equivalent to medicare/medicaid or the welfare package

I can go with term limits. Also, no lawyers. However, are you sure that you want to limit pay that severely? It seems to me to be a great way to insure that only the ultra-rich will ever run for office. While the 150K sounds agreeable, the rest is too restrictive. Take a small business owner for example. This is the type we need. There will be none.

yep, I can't see any reason to pay these assholes big bucks to ignore us and I'm sure the low income blue collar workers would be glad to run for office for that $150k paycheck.

They should also stop campaigning on the MSM networks. All campaign funds go into a community pot and evenly split between all political parties including the independants. that would eliminate politicians being bought out by big business or pay to play BS. after the election any left over funds can be donated to education grants or used to pay down the deficit.

All campaign debates and commercials get aired on PBS since they are publicly owned and should be nutral.

Did you not know that the PBS is among the most liberal of the liberal stations in the U.S.? Have you heard of the fairness doctrine yet? A Democrat Fascist scheme to strip all dissent from our airwaves? You can bet that the PBS will be among the survivors. Pushing the Democrat progressive agenda.

Instead, it should be the PBS that should be closed down. Thereby saving taxpayer dollars and eliminating the bias of that cheesy organization.
