Bella asked:


I’m doing an essay for school on the ban of cigarettes. I need some help finding articles discussing other things we could place taxes on in the place of the huge tax on cigarettes. We get so many tax dollars from cigarettes and spend it on nesscary things- where would we get this money from if not from the tax, and what exactly do we spend it on, anyway?
Lol.
Any helpful links or opinions?
I could really use links to site that contain information as to where exactly the cigarette tax goes- ex. what does it fund? who does it help?

Consider sales tax, gasoline tax, cigarette tax, alcohol tax, excise tax, etc. Give a real answer!!!!!! Oh, and state tax, Texas doesn’t have, but we make up for it taxes on everything else. A real answer about what we pay in taxes?

I need to come up with a figure regarding a settlement with an insurance company because of a permanent debilitating injury to myself. The question is about how much I should expect to pay in taxes. (If it matters, I live in the state of Pennsylvania, in Pittsburgh.)

If I am looking to have somewhere between $1 and $5million in my pocket (well, bank) after the lawyer gets 40%, what should I take into consideration for taxes? Are taxes paid before or after the lawyer?

What I’m looking for is pretty much “If you get $1 million, they would have to pay x, if you get $5 million, they would have to pay y, etc.”

Also, if you know anything about the subject, please let me know if you think that I’m asking for too much or too little. Pretty much I’m early 20s and this has ruined the rest of my life, I am in constant pain, need help to live, and am out of treatment options.

Thank you all so much! I know nothing and need help!
