So what have you guys done with your tax cuts this year? Do you think it has helped the economy or to create jobs?
I bought my oldest braces. Where the money went from there I have no clue.

What that extra 13.00 a month? Cigg's went up more than that per carton, so mine went up in smoke. Or might of gone for the extra 1.60 per gallon of gas cost since O took office or it may of gone to the triple cost of grocery's now under the President Opressive Regime.
He's like a magician, give you a dollar with one hand while taking 10 out of your pocket with the other.

When Bush first implimented the tax cut my brother wa able to afford the new pickup he had been wanting.
I haven't seen much extra money from any tax cuts after Obama signed the highest tax hike in history.

2,159% tax increase on loose tobacco. That is the largest one time tax increase in history.
Obama Signs Federal Cigarette Tax Hike
President Obama signed the Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, providing a major expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to provide health insurance to moderate-income families and illegal aliens.
This government handout is funded with an increased federal tobacco tax.
•Increase U.S. Federal Tax on a pack of cigarettes from $0.39 to $1.01 per pack •Increase Federal tax on pipe tobacco from $1.0969 per pound to $2.83 per pound •Increase Federal tax on RYO tobacco from $1.0969 per pound to $24.78 per pound •Increase Federal tax on cigarette papers (50 or less) from $0.0122 to $0.0315 •Federal tax on cigarette tubes (50 or less) = $0.0244 - New rate is $0.0630

•Increase Federal tax on RYO tobacco from $1.0969 per pound to $24.78 per pound
Now if I remember correctly didn't the companies find a loop hole in this one? They can label it as pipe tobacco even if it is fine cut because the law was written to only tax how it was labeled and not the cut?
Anyway, I was not talking about the bush tax cut I was referring to the 2% decrease they are taking out for social security taxes. As for gas, my wife and I are now able to commute together and I don't have to spend $75 per week in gas for my truck anymore. It barely moves from the driveway now.

That doesn't diminish the fact that it is still the largest tax increase in history.

Next year when you plant your garden plan ahead. Get a $100 plastic greenhouse if your too far north.
1. Choose a soil Tobacco grows well on well-drained soil and where it’s sunny. Poor choice of soil would lead to the withering and dying of the plant. It is also important to choose a spot where there is no insect or pest infestation.
2. Get quality seeds Tobacco seeds and transplants can be obtained primarily from places where tobacco is widely grown. If you’re not near such place, you might need to order tobacco seeds over the mail or the internet. Get good commercial varieties for best value.
3. Plant the seeds Transplant tobacco seeds like you would any other plant in your garden. Remove all debris from the soil and bury the seeds on the surface of the soil. Bed the soil for drainage. Plant the seeds in rows about 24 inches apart.
4. Fertilize Tobacco needs fertilizers to go rapidly and robustly. There are special fertilizers for this plant. But in their absence, you can use the ones for tomato or pepper. Do not over-fertilize as the results will be less than desirable. However, if you want organic tobacco, you can skip this step. Don’t use pesticides in them either.
5. Remove tops and suckers The tobacco’s terminal bud or tops should be removed so that the upper leaves will get thicker and larger. Remove the buds before they open. Remove the suckers or axillary buds on the leaves if they grow to an inch or more.
6. Harvest and Cure When the tobacco plant has leaves old and big enough to make some smoke, it’s time to harvest. Curing may take some time to achieve the best taste

LOL, Zerobama would figure out a way to tax that, too.
