NYACS: Cig-Tax Ruling Unfair To Mom And Pop Shops

nys is using the indians as a smoke screen the real issue is they want their land. so in order to get their land they dont want them making money plain and simple. they already get their casino tax money what else they want. how come its okay to abuse our indians but other groups muslims, blacks or whatever have free passes???i like to see nys try things against the blacks lets see how that would work. but messing with the indians is just okay. everyone tell paterson off he is an …..

Be assured, NYS wants the tax money…its got nothing to do with land!

Correct. The state does not want the land or to eliminate the Native people. NYS residents should pay the tax on the cigarettes they purchase from the Native tribes.

get a grip kark. NYS does not want the land. What have you been smoking? How about a fair trade for all. The Indian tribes can still sell non taxed cigs to other Indians and if they manufacture their own brands on their own land, they can sell them non taxed to anyone. Get it – it has nothing to do with the land. I also want to know – I thought that the nation takes care of their people. Why is it then that the owners of these smoke shops live in beautiful homes, drive nice cars etc, while THEIR NEIGHBORING “PEOPLE” live in poverty?
