That is a poor example first cause this is the tobacco industry, not exactly sweet little benevolent choir boys... so their being happy or sad about any news is not exactly the best moral standard of judgement...
But if you had taken a better example it still would have not been a good point as it sounds like someone is happy because they are abused by the gov and they just find out others that are not so abused end up being just as abused. If anything this shows jealousy from the ones that are more taxed (which shows that taxes are bad, after all why would Rizla or any other company in that situation be sad to pay more taxes SINCE as you explain, taxes are good or normal and people must be happy to pay them)
Also you are talking about companies that make huge amounts of money and I'm talking about the rights of simple individuals which are what matters as these tax increases are going to come out of simple folks' pockets as always.
