Curious what you will do when people quit smoking tobacco. States I have been in would raise cig taxes small amounts, so that smokers don't quit en mass. I think if you raise the tax so high, all at once, you would put a serious dent in those who would continue their habit, which will, in turn, cut into your tax proceeds.
Maybe not spend so much on the health care needs of those damaged by the use of tobacco products? I'm sure at this point, if not soon, tax revenues (incoming) are close to neutral vs. public health care expenditures (outgoing) due to tobacco use.
Haha, you REALLY think Chicago Public Schools teaches students about Government? You should stop insulting people and grow up. Ok? Even If you "think" this is a troll, you don't have the right to say mean stuff, its common courtesy, you obviously should be back in kindergarten and learn "manners".
I'm not being mean. I'm just saying you are a kid. Take as a compliment.

That, in and of itself, will NEVER make up the shortfall.
Aye, I get agitated by the misuse of "then" vs. "than", but let's not descend to being grammar and spelling checkers. There's just TOO much "loose-English" on the Internet, and I don't think it can be stopped at this point.
