Tobacco Tax
I suppose that if you make $250,000 or less, you are exempt from this new tax on tobacco...I guess not. So much for the no new taxes for 95% of the population.
I am the Larry Combest Endowed Chair of Agricultural Competitiveness at Texas Tech University and the Director of the Cotton Economics Research Institute. I specialize in behavioral economics, price analysis, trade and policy. My opinions expressed here are mine and not those of Texas Tech University.
