Taxman - Mr. Paterson

Happy Hump Day infidels. I offer you one of my favorite George Harrison songs, "Taxman" and bestow the Taxman award to NY Gov. Paterson who has New York in such a mess he wants to impose an 18% tax on on soda, iPod tax, movie theater tax, satellite TV service, cigars, beer, movie and sports tickets, health spa, sporting event tax, taxi tax, bus tax, limo tax, cable TV tax, radio tax, clothing tax...and....a fart tax. People in New York will now be taxed $10 per fart and $ 20 for a SBD fart.

You see folks, this is what happens when you let government grow and get out of hand. The money gets tight and you in deep doo doo. So you know what's gonna happen with this tax? New Yorkers will simply get their ipods in New Jersey or Connecticut or mail order and pay no sales tax. The new taxes won't cure anything except stifle commerce. Read about it here.

Adieu infidels!

We'll see on the O, he's already broken his promise to raise taxes cause of the economy and that's actually a smart decision. Tax rates will automatically go back up in 2011 unless they make the Bush tax cuts permanent. Don't count on it...

At least the New Yorkers can burp tax-free!

Nope, the burp tax will be $1.00 per belch but only at drinking establishments.

It's only tax free if you burp in your home.

However, farting in your home is still taxable under New York's proposed tax law changes.

This NY Governor is turning out to be a real piece of work.

He deserves that his constituents burp and fart in his face.

Leave to a Democrat to increase taxes and you'll see the outcome.

You forgot to include: manicures and pedicures. No joke. Lets see if New York women get pissed when the cost of their mani-pedis goes up.

And what a lot of the MSM fail to mention when they talk about his "tough" budget is that it is bigger than last years. That's right, folks. He's increasing spending.
