Obama's Poor Tax
Why raising the tobacco levy will hurt the states.
By BRAD SCHILLER
"I can make a firm pledge . . . no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase." Remember that? It was Barack Obama, campaigning to become president last Sept. 12 in Dover, N.H.
Indeed, he promised repeatedly that 95% of American families would get a tax cut. So it's especially fitting that he chose April Fools Day to implement his first tax increase -- which will fall mostly on individuals and families who do not make anywhere near $250,000 per year.
Early in February, the president signed a law to triple the federal excise tax on cigarettes -- which will jump from 39 cents per pack to $1.01 today. His administration projects this tax hike will bring in at least $38 billion over the next five years.
If you don't smoke, maybe you don't care. Maybe you even think a higher "sin tax" is a good thing. But health issues aren't the only concern here. There are also questions of fairness, federalism, macroeconomic impact, and crime.
The fairness issue is particularly troubling. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only one in five Americans smokes, so the excise targets a minority -- and over half of all smokers are low income, and one of four are officially classified as poor.
Mr. Obama prefers to tout his tax cuts for low-income households. But his "stimulative" Make Work Pay tax cut gets dribbled out at $8-$10 a week. A pack-a-day smoker will pay half of that back in higher cigarette taxes. Smokers getting welfare, unemployment or disability checks instead of paychecks won't get as much in tax cuts, but they will still pay the whole cigarette tax increase. Anyone concerned about widening income inequality should have second thoughts about this distribution of the tax burden.
We should also note how this tax increase affects state finances. State governments rely on their own cigarette excise taxes for hefty revenue streams. In 2008, according to the National Tax Foundation, state governments took in $15.4 billion in cigarette taxes. Hard-hit Michigan, Pennsylvania, and California each took in over $1 billion; New York and Texas took in $1.5 billion each.
Higher taxes discourage cigarette sales. Nobel economist Gary Becker pegs the long-run price elasticity of demand for cigarettes at 0.8 -- i.e., a 10% increase in price causes an 8% decline in unit sales. The Obama tax hike translates into a 13.3% increase in the average pack price. That implies a 10.6% decline in unit sales -- which the National Tax Foundation has calculated adds up to a $1 billion overall revenue loss for hard-pressed states.
Because Southern states have low tax rates (most less than 40 cents per pack), the federal tax hike raises their cigarette prices by a larger percentage and thus cuts deeper into their unit sales. New York, by contrast, has the highest state taxes ($2.75 a pack) and prices, so it gets hit less in percentage terms. The Tax Foundation estimates a 12.6% revenue loss for South Carolina this coming fiscal year, and a 6.7% loss for New York.
None of this is good for the economy. Consumers and state governments are already having a tough time making ends meet. Burdening them with a new $38 billion tax and a $1 billion cut in revenues isn't going to help create jobs. Estimates by the National Association of Tobacco Outlets of the job losses in cigarette manufacturing and distribution alone exceed 100,000.
Smugglers and counterfeiters won't lose their jobs, though. Both the General Accounting Office (GAO) and the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) agency have concluded that the multibillion-dollar cigarette-smuggling business grows with every excise tax increase. The ATF and GAO also believe that cigarette-smuggling is a form of cash laundering and profits for both organized crime and terrorist organizations.
Clearly, we were fools to believe that if we weren't wealthy, Mr. Obama wasn't going to raise our taxes. We'll be even bigger fools if we acquiesce to further tax increases of this kind.
Mr. Schiller, professor of economics at University of Nevada, Reno, is the author of "The Economy Today" (McGraw-Hill, 2008).

Sincerely Webprods.BTW always do your own DD and don't follow my guesses
Webprods, I appreciate you putting that at the end of your post because thats all it is now with BKMP, a quess or quiet optimisim. Now to take this a litle further are you quessing SW will R/S this before any kind of run, or will it have a run and then R/S? I know its only a quess so you will hear no ridicule from me concerning your quess. My quess is this thing will have to R/S before any kind of run can occur which in turn will wipe out all former bagholders.
Just my quess at this time.
And I thank you for all the articles you posted last night as a rebuttal to all his comments laying the blame on the Bush administration without addressing them to him.
No, not at this time. IHub Matt has been trying and said he's had no luck either. Stockfire409 has been calling his cell and texting him but no answers. Not good. I know this is off topic but life is short K so we should take time to smell the roses, make friends along the way and give thanks for everyday we are able to tell our loved ones goodnight.
Hello Ron!! I want the 11 18 29 88 for this race. GLTA!!
No it did'nt DD, happy hour passes by in a hurry.

cardvic,,,look at the darn economy,,,again quit whining,.,,,people are going to be on the street coming soon because 401 and other reasons,,,you knew this was a long shot with bkmp.,,,let it go
Hello Photog.. Great to hear from you. I believe the reason we are still here is because of the great friends we have made over the years and this forum is our way of staying in touch. BKMP has been and will continue to be dead in the water until the situation at TFN/TFNG is straighten out, then all we can hope for is a small spike in PPS with some kind of news involving BKMP with TFN. Notice I used the word hope.
Any who it is great to hear from you and remember we all have made some great friends on this board so please stay in touch and not disappear like The Tooth Fairy has which has caused us all great concern.
Hey EZ check out this cartoon found on another board.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=36568962
If you did'nt have hope like the rest of us stockmavin you would'nt still be posting on the BKMP board!!!
Do I think we will ever see anything out of this NO
Do I still have hope YES
Thats all we have left....
I wish they would update the TFN website, all Pr's listed are old, names listed that are no longer affiliated with TFN. Thinks sure have gone to pot lately.
Try this board out sometimes when you cant interpret the acronyms.

Roll On The Floor Laughing My Big Arss Off
Its a run, grab the moon pants, grab the lawn chairs that have not rusted and caved in, grab the green beer, grab hold of your heart just in case BKMP does run!!!!
I'm like everyone else here just hoping for something to happen......
Going with the 18 29 48 88 for the Bristol race.
Picking early so I will not miss out this time. Going turkey hunting, be back Sunday night.
Good Luck to you waggett and please stay in touch...
