"Sin" Tax

Well if you smoke in Iowa or in the United States. You might be pissed at Sin tax by now. You have to pay more than six to seven dollars to buy a pack of cigarettes. It's not fair. I'm not a full time smoker and I am to cheap to buy a pack(back when they cost 2-5 dollars). I still cannot agree with these prices and here is my biggest argument against Sin taxes:

Well, what the hell is a sin? Well a sin is subjective. I mean I hate to say this, but Christianity is the most prevalent religion in the USA. In The Bible is says it's okay to own slaves. Why not make slaves legal and then tax the shit out of them. Most things in life that we consider a sin are illegal. Like murder. Murder is a sin right? Well fuck it they just go to jail and cost us money. I think it's about time we allow murder to be legal. You just need to buy a hunting license and go kill your self an ex-wife or maybe your annoying child. We tax the shit out of it and make some money off these people. There will be rules for murder though. At first restraints and bars will have murder and non-murder sections. It will be okay to murder in a hospital until we find out about the health risks. Then you will have to murder at least twenty yards from any building. Pretty soon the public will even criminalize murdering while in the car with a child. That might be a bit overboard, but we are making cigarettes a bit like a criminal act. It's just smoking. People die everyday from it, blah blah blah. We have gone way over the line with all the finger pointing. I mean cigarettes are getting the complete opposite treatment. During hard times they just keep getting shit on. Selling cigarettes now is like selling HIV. It's addictive like sex, but fuck. Also, what about sex? You know premarital sex is a sin. Lets tax the shit out of condoms. Make condom dispensers take only fifties. Also, lets talk about prostitution. Make it legal tax blow jobs, vaginal and anal sex. That way the government can make every paid for quickie a three way.

These are only a few of the things we could tax. But in an economy were millions of Americans can't find jobs because there at to many people. Maybe we should tax child birth and baby supplies? Not things that are lowering the population. That's my two cents worth.
