Strike section 1.

What is the benefit of sin taxes?

Those who choose to use such substances as nicotine end up costing the government money for health care, this is a way for them to help pay for their cost to society. Also it usually helps to pay for prevention and quitting plans.

Where will we get the money to cover the reduction in sales taxes?

[MaxQue]

By the ''sin taxes'' and people will have more money without food and books taxes so they'll have more money to buy other things with taxes.

Or i don't know.

[CultureKing]

Where will we get the money to cover the reduction in sales taxes?

I caught a leprechaun.

[Ebowed]

Where will we get the money to cover the reduction in sales taxes?

We have a high progressive income tax and an estate tax.
