Loophole my eye!

The Loophole Effect

Fred has been reporting on Cohen and his pipe tobacco tax increase for some time now. The sad part of all this is that if congress does pass this through the pipe tobacco industry will be damaged severely and thousands will lose their livelihoods all in the name of squeezing out more tax money to feed an ever expanding government. At what point does the pendulum starting swinging back toward freedom?  This really sucks.

According the above article "the Obama administration has been working for a year to clarify the difference between pipe and rolling tobacco."  Let us hope that some sanity prevails here and what we see is a clarification between the two instead of a tax increase that would destroy an entire industry.
