		<description><![CDATA[There was, and probably still is, a tobacco store in Newport News, Virginia, that I patronized because of its low-priced cigarettes. It was run by a very friendly Muslim family. The father would wait on customers, and also the wife, a nice-looking woman, with the kids playing in the empty space behind the counter. But it soon dawned on me, because of my readings on the cigarette smuggling racket on the East Coast, that very likely some percentage of the profits of this store would eventually wind up in the Mideast to fund terrorism and jihad.  I stopped patronizing the store. Also, the woman over a period of a year grew fatter and fatter, and was essentially unpaid help and also a baby machine. Now I go to WaWa for my brands.  ]]></description>

To tens of millions of Americans, the Internal Revenue Service is a source of income, not a dreaded tax collector. 
 
Though not widely known, the IRS administers &quot;one of the federal government&#039;s largest benefit programs for working families and individuals.&quot;  
 
Smoke This Taxpayers:  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/02/irs_working_to_mainstream_welf.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/02/irs_w...&lt;/a&gt; 
 
By claiming certain &quot;credits,&quot; primarily the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Additional Child Tax Credit, eligible tax filers receive a check from the IRS even if they have paid no federal income tax during the year. The EITC is a form of negative income tax, the merits of which will not be debated here. EITC is the &quot;largest cash assistance program targeted at low-income families.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[In Canada, smuggling of cigarettes is a huge problem.  Some provinces have higher tobacco taxes, and the ones that do, end up having a problem with cigarettes from lower-tax provinces being smuggled in. 
 
Each Province&#039;s cigarette packages are wrapped in a special clear plastic wrap that has a thin colored strip encircling near the top of the package that indicates the tax has been paid on it (by the vendor).  BC&#039;s is a light aqua blue.  If the cigarettes don&#039;t have that, it&#039;s smuggled. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sadly, Smokers will die anyway. Why attack them? 
 
I PAY directly for ETB and Medicaid Card FRAUD. 
 
More important FRAUD is facts such as ACORN doing what it does best: handing in phony voter registrations and facilitating election fraud that cancel OUR VOTE. 
 
The long history of ACORN&#039;s role in vote fraud and the inexplicable federal funding of this organization are detailed here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.humanevents.com/2007/03/09/acorn-labors-ally-is-a-bad-seed/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.humanevents.com/2007/03/09/acorn-labor...&lt;/a&gt; ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Want to know who is deep into cigarette smuggling, all over the U.S? 
 
Hint: they finance their jihad - &lt;a href=&quot;http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/09/14/hezbollah-burrowed-within-u-s-cities-latin-america-forward-bases-readying-to-pounce-addendum-to-northeast-intelligence-director-digs-deeper-and-do-you-know-who-your-neighbors-are-comm/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/09/14/hezbollah-bur...&lt;/a&gt; 
 
By the bye, the I-95 corridor is a gateway for jihadi activity, of which cigarettes play a huge part. And if one place stands out among the rest, consider North and South Carolina as major hubs. And this Israeli blogger knows this for a fact.
