dismal unemployment report? Or is this projected loss yet to be realized in future months, contributing to further implosion of the economy caused by Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi.
 
This is part of Obama's complete socialistic agenda, total rule and control over the future of generations to come, all unemployed relying on the banana nanny state that Obama is creating

Put on your Pol Pot Pajamas and bow down to the Emperor with No Clothes
 
Not yet.

I was reading something earlier in the paper about the government taking over the tobacco industry completely, some law they signed. So the tax is only the beginning, fascism here we come.
 
The tax hasn't been implemented yet. I also think 100,000 jobs lost because of the tax hike appears to be a bit inflated.
 
Any time you raise taxes there is a loss somewhere. If you raise taxes on business they have less money to produce or hire people.
If you raise taxes on the individual they have less to spend on products .
Cigarette tax is a sin tax that since it does not effect everyone it can be justified by most. Like the tax on alcohol. Yet each group, rich. drivers, smokers, drinkers, or whatever singled out group ends up being a minority which somehow the majority says they need to pay more than their fair share of tax ,
 
Give a source as to who projected the loss of 100,000 jobs. And yes you would love to place blame on Obama and Pelosi, but to do so you have to give a credible verified source.
 
Philip Morris said:

If the tax increases on our products are coupled with taxes on our business model, we will execute plans already under review to move our Headquarters and a large part of our US operation to Turkey and The Philippines.

In 2007, Philip Morris awarded 352 grants to eligible non-profit organizations across the U.S. totaling more than $13.7 million. The majority of those contributions were focused in the headquarters and plant communities of Richmond, Va., and Cabarrus County, N.C.
That will go away.

The Philip Morris Employee Community Fund (PMECF) was established in response to employees’ desire to be more actively involved in the communities where they live and work. The fund allows employees and other interested donors to make charitable contributions that are combined to benefit non-profit organizations. The PMECF is the cornerstone of the employee giving efforts in Virginia and North Carolina. Since its inception, the PMECF has distributed 904 grants totaling more than $24 million to non-profit organizations
That will go away.

Virginia alone will lose over 2300 jobs.
