Re: "are applying it to investment income for the first time" I, for one, approve IN PRINCIPLE. I believe that all income (regardless of source) should be taxed. Under a fair system (minimizing ALL possible tax loopholes and exclusions and special interest favors and bennes), and preferably under one single low and flat rate. Re: "The tobacco tax has already been increased." Like Reagan's folks argued incessantly (when they raised taxes after '83), that's a "User Fee". A "voluntary tax", because the behavior itself is a choice. (Unless one argues that addiction itself eliminates the 'choice' from the matter.... :-) PS --- just filed my schedule M for my $400 tax credit. (How about you?)
