A little more about Governor Paterson's plan to reduce the budget deficit - while, of course, never considering the radical idea that in most families we just reduce our spending to match our income.
The Governor has come up with 88 new taxes (or in some cases tax hikes). Although I haven't found a complete list anywhere on the 'net, here are a few: cigars, beer, wine, sports tickets, movies, books, cab fares, Kool-Aid, I tunes and other downloads, shoes, cable TV, gas, etc. etc. etc.
The nuttiest idea? A tax on any clothing that cost less than $110. That's right. So does that mean buying designer clothes is OK, but shopping for school clothes at Walmart will be penalized?
Maybe Michigan isn't so bad after all!
