Health Care Bill/ Tanning Tax

[Washedout]

This tanning tax is racist because the whtes and some orientals are the ones going to tanning parlors.

Seriously???... Sorry for the O.T. and threadjacking Mr Moderator.... Do you have a smiley face shooting himself?

:buzz_saw: Close as I could come for ya....

How much does pipe tobacco cost there?

About $7.50 for a 5 oz. bag + $2.50 for the filtered cigarette tubes.

How much do you save by rolling your own? And does it really taste like a regular cig without the filter?

Well, one bag makes a good carton for $10.00 while a carton of Marlboro's costs just shy of $65.00.....net savings of $55.00. Guess who got the other $55.00? BINGO....state and fed tax!!!

Long ago my father smoked a pipe. Will always remember that smell. Would not want to smoke a cig of that stuff though. Can you give me the brandname of what you smoke?

The name is Largo. The gal at the shop told me that this is the same as the cigarette tobacco but packaged in a manner that they can't tax the crap out of it. I'd compare the taste to a Marlboro red.

Nice way to kick the tax man in the ass.:thumbsup:

Have a good one:s4:

Half pound of Norwegian Shag, 300 papers $20 with tax. Smoke all month, recycle the butts since non filter.

John Boner of the GOP uses his taxpayer fund to pay for his tanning and bourbon tax free. :jointsmile:

who Tans? White Women!!! this Law is Racist as it gets, but since it is white people being discriminated against its OK. If it was a Tax that targeted any other race there would be an Up roar.

bro.....you got 490 posts....dont even know eastbaygordo or his previous posts. Defend him if you want. People who been around know bout that dude. Heads up for ya bigsby...trust me on this one.

This is a bit late as I've been up river... read overseas in your favorite part of the world. A two week consulting gig and well worth the time. I love Dubai and Oman. Unfortunately no diving for me this go around. It was all work.

So Islandboy, I appreciate your heads up on eastbaygordo. The problem is that I don't really believe anything you say, Mexican wife and all. So I looked through all of his old posts. No, I didn't read every one but I scanned all 8 pages of his post headline statistics and read a number of them. The most objectionable material that I saw had to do with shooting republicans in the face which I took as a bit of hyperbole (it means exaggeration for dramatic effect). It is not language the I would have chosen but it is not the worst thing that I've read posted on these boards by a long shot (recall your deleted post that referred to assassinating national leaders for example).

Is there something that I missed which is worth damning him/her to your special Glenn Beck hell hole? I'm guessing no but seeing as you slandered him/her I'm giving you the opportunity to show me what I missed.

He just has a man crush on me and has these confusing feelings, he feels icky about himself.

But seriously. There is an IB on every internet forum (massive posts directly cut and pasted from faux news sites like WND and Newsmax) and I would be better off ignoring all his posts that don't relate to helping others.

For all the those people whining about deficit spending, I'm pretty sure that you support allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire, right? Here is a nice little graphic that sums it up:

Amazing graphic, a picture is worth a thousand words, and this one is good enough to be worth 2k.
