iPod Tax?
What’s he trying to do, energize the youth vote? David Paterson plans to tax the daylights out of New Yorkers to make up a $15 billion state budget shortfall. Daily News:
Movie tickets, taxi rides, soda, beer, wine, cigars and massages would be taxed under Paterson’s proposal. It also extends sales taxes to cable and satellite TV services and removes the tax exemption for clothes costing less than $110.
A lot of that looks like a “Sex In The City” tax. Throw in cereal and you have a ”Seinfeld” tax. I like the iPod one a lot. It’s kind of like a training-wheel tax for junior citizens. Turn all those Obama-enthused college kids into Republicans.

I’m waiting for the tax that taxes the taxes people have to pay. The state has to pay the overhead somehow.

Go ahead, New York. Drive your business out. Ohio could use some of it.
