Default New York...

Boy - I'm thinking about moving to New York - what a great state.

Proposed "revenue" streams:

An "iPod tax" that charges state and local sales tax for "digitally
delivered entertainment services".

State sales tax at movie theaters, sporting events, taxis, buses,
limousines and cable and satellite TV and radio.

Costlier driving with the repeal of the 8-cents-per-gallon sales tax
cap on motor and diesel motor fuel, plus and increase in the auto
rental tax.

Tuition increases at SUNY and CUNY, $620 and $600 a year respectively.

A 50 cent tax on cigars. The current tax is equal to 37% of the
wholesale price, or 34 cents a cigar.

No more sales tax break on clothes and shoes worth $110 or less,
except during two weeks a year.

Higher taxes on wine, beer and flavored malt beverages. He would also
impose an 18% tax on non-nutritional drinks like soda.

The rich would pay more for luxury items through an additional 5% tax
imposed on cars costing more than $60,000, aircraft costing more than
$500,000, yachts costing at least $200,000 and jewelry and furs
costing in excess of $20,000.

In addition, a host of a fees, including those related to motor
vehicle licensing and registration, parks and auto insurance, would go
up, as would various state-imposed fines.
