bloodthirst Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Ya know I moved here from a small town with no jobs and no opportunity. At first I thought it was great here. I married a local girl, bought a house, and started a family here. During my 12 years in Broome, it has gotten worse and worse. I always read posts about people moving or wanting to move and I figure "oh well, things are bound to get better sooner or later." I am starting to get depressed. This place is my home and the birthplace of my children and I want to stay here so bad, but how long can I hold on? We need some kind of light at the end of the tunnel. I am not ready to give up on this area just yet, but I am starting to get worn down by it all. Please someone reassure me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I have not bought cigarettes in New York State since the mid 90's. I used to order them from the Indians, but NYS somehow put a stop to most of that. I went to Smokin' Joe's in Hallstead/Great Bend and bought a rolling machine. A decent rolling machine costs about $40, a pound of tobacco is $11.99(good for about 3 cartons) and a carton of two hundred tubes with filters is $1.29. Do the math, a carton costs me a little over $6.00(not counting the cost of the machine). I also fill up on gas while I'm down there. Screw NYS and their lets tax everyone to death mentality.

Guest Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Personally, I'm glad NYS is taxing cigs more. I hate them, I hate when people smoke. If they could find a way to pay for a trip to Bermuda once a year for me with cig tax money, I'd vote for them every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 If people stopped smoking, do you know how much your taxes would go up? Plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you don't get a trip anywhere you're just saved the increased taxes that the smokers pay for you. Right now 55% of the cost of cigarettes in NYS is tax alone. A further 30% of the cost is from the court case where Broome paid for the Harvey building and other public projects. So just take your tax break and go where ever you want.

Guest Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Keep electing Democrats and watch the nanny state grow. This is how we pay for all the people on welfare and other entitlement programs. This is what happens when the appeasing left have their way. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Does anybody declare these taxes on their income tax at the end of the year? Can you just get a receipt at the shop and rob and declare it. Between the wife and I,I see a deduction of $3000 a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Perhaps the taxes on cigarettes should go to all the non-smokers who are forced to smell that crap and walk through it everytime they enter a buidling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 If you have never smoked, you really have no room to talk. Yes, it smells awful and it's not good to breathe, and you shouldn't have to walk through it but neither is the air you're breathing... Smoking is a PHYSICAL ADDICTION... I'm now a non-smoker, and it took a VERY long hard time for me to get there, so don't post about things you know nothing about. I think the tax is an awful way for the state to get more money... However I can't say I'm shocked, NYS specializes in taking money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise the non-smokers would have to pay their share of the taxes.In effect NYS just raised the taxes of all the pack a day smokers by over 550 dollars a year.They are already paying more than that now,so if you were singled out to be taxed over a thousand dollars extra a year because of a habit of yours I don't like how would you like it?
