TAX ILLEGAL DRUGS? THAT'S THE PLAN TO BUST N.Y. DEFICIT
New York has a tough job maintaining its reputation as the most
heavily taxed state in the nation.
It requires our elected officials to keep on the lookout for new
things to tax. That gets more difficult every year, because there's
not much that isn't taxed except the air we breathe. ( Sources tell me
the state is working on that, basing the tax on the size of your schnoz ).
So it comes as no surprise that Gov. Eliot Spitzer wants to tax
illegal drugs like cocaine and marijuana.
