That Just Happened

Ok, so here's the thing, How much does one have to go through and endure?! The big get bigger... the skinny keep throwing up. The drunks hate Sunday's last call. Yet, all of most need a square. Especially if you don't require a joint.

 

So cigarettes went up like gas prices did a year ago. All of the sudden, without notice, like a robbery. Ok, if you watch the news, then you had noticed, but to the average Joe, walking up to that counter and getting that $6.41 price when you counted out $5.05... talk about surprise.

 

I get it though, habbits should have consequence, but why the price? When things get tough, addiction grows stronger, yet those who are addicts are most likely broke.

 

So why do the broke always pay and suffer more? The "GM" from GM retires, but he gets to go on vacation now and smoke cigars... and we have to pick up more shifts, and go on the patch.

Well, I admit the price increase is pretty huge all at once, but as for "why", I heard that the extra taxes are supposed to go directly to "poor kids healthcare." Which sounds all good if that's really where it's going. My question is: are the extra taxes we pay here going to Indiana's healthcare? or getting lost in yet another Federal cookie jar...
