Reply #107: It's a law violating yet another treaty made with [View All]

[sabrina 1]

American Indians. I don't care what Republicans think or don't think. I think for myself.

This law is not to protect anyone. It is to force more money into the hands of the government through taxes they agreed NOT to levy on those tribes.

And it is meant to remove the competition from Indian Smoke Shops to local merchants who also sell cigarettes.

Local merchants have been lobbying for this kind of law for decades. So it isn't about 'smoking' it's about as always, someone's profit margin. The same people you are supporting will continue to sell cigarettes only with less competition from the tribes.

Since it won't stop smoking, and the only result will be the destruction of Indian run businesses, why would you be supporting it?
