So what? I have to pay outrageous taxes on smokes and wine...let the chubbies get hit with a sin tax, too.
Keep an eye out for some nutter to suicide bomb something in response to this.
You should turn Yourself in before You get violent Ravi? Answering Evil with more Evil is Sad, Ravi.
Getting off on punishing without reason is part of the problem Ravi. This is not a Political issue in the sense that the Victims are all of us, Right and Left. You do realize that the petition against the Tax comes from the Left, and the Right.
About Us
New Yorkers Against Unfair Taxes is a coalition of concerned New Yorkers hard working individuals, struggling families, and already burdened small businesses opposed to any tax increases on juice drinks and soda. The coalitions primary aim is to prevent the enactment of unfair and misdirected beverage tax increases that could cost our state over 6,000 jobs. Our coalition understands that New Yorkers are already among the highest taxed citizens in the nation; that we cant tolerate a regressive tax that disproportionately targets middle and lower income New Yorkers; and that we wont be fooled by Albany trying to control our lifestyle by policing what we eat and drink.
