Have you ever considered that the goverenment uses two highly addictive substances to get tax money from the people that provide most of their needs themselves,ie. the midwest farmer who raises his own meat and veggies and if not for the addiction the government creats he would never pay any other tax then from what he sells.

It's called a "Sin Tax". If you don't do the "sin" you don't pay the tax. Get over it!

Just because they are highly addictive doesn't mean you have to do it. At least it is one tax you can opt out of. If you don't like the tax, don't buy the product.
