Ga. Tax Revenue Continues Decline; Some Analysts Say Tax Increases Needed | Georgia Public Broadcasting

That's from October, but ya think taxing cigarettes more will help the state if we're all vaping?

I was trying to find some data on how much tobacco tax income the state has had per year for the last 5-10 years. Can't find a thing.

I could care less if they raise tax on cigarettes. I will never buy another pack of those nasty things as long as I live! Im sure the state will come up with other ways to increase tax on us though.

I would love to see MUCH higher taxes on alcohol, and a big fat new tax on soft drinks. As long as they're taxing things that are unhealthy, those would make them tremendous amounts of money.

Can ya tell I don't drink alcohol or soft drinks?

Don't forget trans fats.

I don't think Coke would be happy with a soda tax. I do agree with you a tax of some sort on alcohol, sodas, and transfats would make a lot of money. Heck even taxation of frozen entree meals. Those banquet things seem to always be on sale and they are only $1 each. How healthy are they?

How about garbage tax? Then a rebate for recycling! I'd be up for that!!!!

Personally, I'm waiting for them to figure out some way to tax us for air. ;P

I'd be interested in a list of Ga Vapers. I'm in Macon. Most Ga Vapers seem to be centered around Atlanta. Any Central Ga vapers around?

If everyone in the state had to pay a "Stupid Tax" (every time someone said something stupid they have to put a dollar in the jar) most of these Atlanta city politicians would be bankrupt and the state would have all of the funding it needed....


Then they could start fixing the roads!
