[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 649773, member: 4437"] [i]Yes, it is very unfair to be selling cigarettes for $8.00 a pack as the result of government taxes. If it were farmer profit, or even a middleman, I wouldn't object to the price. If capitalism is allowed to work, many times it is a superior system. Very good point about how a small difference in money can accumulate over a couple of decades if allowed to compound. I can understand how Altria, the maker of Marlboro, has made billions even with the demand and supply decreasing. It comes down to someone else thinking they can force other citizens to live by their beliefs. We know this will never work long term. In regards to the book deal, a million dollars just isn't that much money unless you don't have any. There is some teak wood grown under water, south of Florida or maybe South America, that can be used for pipe material that I could try to purchase for resale. It is pretty neat stuff and unusual. Maybe we could package a plastic baggie with loose leaf, a teak pipe, a pipe cleaner, a refillable butane lighter, for $1.00 an make about $1B if the government (ATF) wasn't involved.[/i] [/QUOTE]
