What's your plan for folks who refuse to pay the carbon tax?
Remember, Eric Garner was killed as part of enforcing NYC's cigarette tax. (He was selling "loosies".)
- DarylZero 5y agoMost "loosies" are brand name cigarettes bought in a store (so with the tax already paid on them).
- anamax 5y agoI should have written "regulatory system." It's not legal to sell single cigarettes in NY regardless of source. That said, the "only registered sellers are allowed" system is intended to combat cigarette smuggling/tax evasion.
