As someone who has never purchased a pack of cigarettes in my life, I fully cop to be ignorant of how much tax is on them. That said, I did google, and the Feds collect about $14 million a year on them. Explain to me, how that amounts to, in your words:
"a billion dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood, 3 billion to destroy cars and untold billions wasted bringing in, educating, insuring and housing illegals."

Because, thanks to the same google, this is what I read about what the recent federal excise increase has gone to:

"On February 4, 2009, the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 was signed into law, which raised the federal tax rate for cigarettes on April 1, 2009 from $0.39 per pack to $1.01 per pack.[8][9] The purpose of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) is to provide aid for impoverished children. SCHIP expanded its coverage of liability (in 2009) to include families with up to three times the federal poverty level as well as children from high-income families in New York and New Jersey. SCHIP is proposed to also cover dental benefits and treatment of mental illnesses where it previously did not exist. In addition to providing these services for U.S. citizens, SCHIP is also expanded to cover immigrant children and immigrant pregnant women.[10]"

Maybe that's what you meant by "educating, insuring and housing illegals?" Getting health care to poor kids and pregnant women? Dude, you're harsh.
