Hello and welcome to this update, It's been way over a month since I last sent a cigarettes savings update, and now here comes Spring time already! I hope it's a wonderful one for you, and a great summer too. But you must take care, for the times are getting trickier than ever . . . It's 100% certain that hard financial times are upon us - with bank failures, a collapsing dollar, the beginnings of inflation, increased job losses and home foreclosures - and much harder times than these are clearly on their way despite all the "happy talk" from the powers-that-be.
Please forward this mail to your friends who might appreciate it. Thanks. Hard Times Depression?You had best be ready for hard financial times. And, among other things, that means avoiding needless costs and improving your income. If you've been paying attention, then you are well aware that we are at the beginning an era of what promises to be hugh financial turmoil. When the biggest Swiss bank - UBS - declares losses close to 40 BILLION dollars, and when one of Wall Street's Biggest Investment Banks goes belly up - Bear Stearns - then times are most definitely changing. Some of the government Big Cheeses in DC have even used the "R word" in public recently. "R" is for Recession. And guess what: in today's version of new-speak, "Recession" is code for Depression. So be ready - in all the ways you can be. The Hard Times will effect smokers in some special ways. . . Taxes
- Privacy
- You'll save money with SSO's cheap prices, and you'll keep your money because the state tax man will never know anything about you nor be able to demand anything of you. That's the purpose of privacy. Income
- New York deliveries -Most online tobacco sources will NOT deliver to NY state. SSO delivers to NY State
- no problem! Maryland deliveries -Most online tobacco sources will NOT deliver to Maryland. SSO Delivers to Maryland. And to EVERY STATE in the U.S.A. - all of them. New York State: Tax-Attacking smokers again!It's been agreed by the legislature. The crooks that run the state of NY are doing it yet again, adding another $1.25 per pack in taxes. That brings the total state tax per pack to $2.75. There is an additional $1.50 New York City tax in that city. And that brings the total taxes on a pack of cigarettes for those who purchase in the city to $4.25 per pack! The state, of course, says that some of the tax money will go to help smokers quit. Hah!! This is indeed a "smokescreen!" It means, in fact, that they'll give your money to Big Phamra - the Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex - to pay them for drugs so you can torture yourself on their poisons when trying to quit your not-so-bad smokes. What a racket, folks! See more about the quitting racket below. . . "This is putting a gun to my head and saying you are taking money from me for my own good," said Audrey Silk of NY C.L.A.S.H. "It's no different than a robber saying that when he's sticking you up." She said, "Taxation shouldn't be used for social engineering," and we would add that it should not be used to fatten big corporations off the backs of a hard-pressed and unfairly demonized segment of the public. ABC TV's version of this grossly unjust tax
attack is here: Maine -The Maine state legislature is currently considering a bill to raise the cigarette tax by 50 cents per pack South Carolina - Famous for it's lowest state tax on smokes
of 7 cents, SC's politicos are now trying to
justify a tax increase of 50 cents per pack
by saying the money will go for medicaid. More
money selectively snatched out of smokers pockets,
and more jive. . . Just as in NYS, the medicaid
payments will likely also be used to fatten
Big Pharma - exactly those special interests
who are behind so much of the junk science
used in anti-smoker propaganda.
