Why didn't we think of this?

I wouldn’t want to pay taxes to any state that would have me as a resident.

Got an urgent email alert from The Taxpayers League of Minnesota today urging me to call my legislator and let them know I was against the proposed increase in the cigarette tax.

The rationale given was that, according to a Harvard study, it actually saves the taxpayers money in lower pension and nursing home costs if smokers get sick and die earlier than non-smokers.

More dead people equals lower taxes. What a great idea! I know I’m going to send David Strom a big box of cigars for coming up with this one.
