I just got done remodeling the living room of my home and the dining room. It was a lot of work, kept me very busy. I'm just getting some spare time to catch up on some reading and posting.
I read a certain news letter today about how Florida and louisiana are trying to go after people who purchase tobacco ( Cigars ) over the internet and mail order for taxes and back taxes. Some pretty stiff allegations going on, very eye opening to say the least. Bulling companies into giving them there customer names and copies of there orders. California is trying to add some kinda 136% tax on tobacco, SanteFe has banned smoking from within 25 feet of a main entrance to buildings. Like jersey!
I thought the government already ruled on taxes from internet sells as non-taxable, like mail order always has been. If you buy from your state you have to pay taxes, but from across state lines it's all good. I don't get it. Also the strong arm tactics are pretty scary, you have to prove you didn't purchase tobacco products if they get your name from UPS, or FED-EX. What the $*&^ is up with that.
Well I hope most of you vote, and keep an eye on whats going on in your town, and state. Maybe a letter to your senator about this pure invasion of your privacy & rights as an American. Seems lately they don't care what the people want, but about putting money into there pockets.
I can here my mother now, "We'll smoking is bad and you should have to pay for increased medical cost" like that's were the money goes, & also if they can do it to me with tobacco products, they can do it to you on books, movies ETC.
Any way, sorry to ramble but everyone should be aware of whats going on, those small Little laws and bills they pass, can become big trouble later. Keep your eyes and ears open.
