- A few caviars from Mario Cuomo in his new state budget:
-
- 1. A baby tax: Each new born will be levied $17.00 tax. (I am
- not making this up)
- 2. A one billion dollar tax cut that was to take effect 3 years
- ago, but was postponed each year has been cancelled for good.
- I guess he got sick of postponing the darn thing.
- 3. 21 cents tax hike on cigarettes, making NY the
- state that levies the highest tax on cigarettes and tobacco.
- 4. 5 dollar tax on new tires
- and so on and so forth.
-
- NY has the highest percapita tax burden of all 50 states and DC.
- And, NY is one of the states where taxes are likely to increase
- substantially in the next 2 to 3 years. (from Money magazine).
-
- Don't blame me, I am a Republican.
