Stop The Madness: stop the new cigarette tax
Published by Susan Gibson on Jul 02, 2010
Target: Governor Patterson & Mayor Bloomberg
Region: United States of America
Background (Preamble):
Appealing this new cigarette tax.
Petition:
We, the smokers of New York ask that our elected officials take a stand with us against this new cigarette tax.
It is outrageous for Governor Patterson and Mayor Bloomberg to expect to balance the State and City tax deficit on the backs of the people who choose to smoke. IT'S UNFAIR AND UNJUST! We already pay more than our share for cigarettes.
This is America, where each individual gets to choose what is best for him or her. We don't need the Governor nor the Mayor to dictate whether we are of sound mind to decide to smoke or not. STOP THE MADNESS!!
