re: Dividend stocks and DRIPs as a long term investment vehicle

bc they raise the prices of cigarettes drastically.....if you're hooked, what are you gonna do?

If they triple the price of coke, you'll move on and not care. Being addicted to something is tough to explain, ask a crack addict I can't explain it to you.Have you seen a smoker try to stop? The shake, they sweat, they can't sleep, its a force beyond explanation.

and the company doesn't pay more in taxes, the consumers do.
