If taxes need to be jacked up... I think I would put more of the focus on things like alcohol, cigarettes, license plates, etc.

So true.
People don't have money so tax revenue is down so tax people who don't have money more.
The sales tax is a fucking killer for low income people and this tax means only 90%
of their dollar for food actually gets food.
Of course a lot money can be saved by simply firing some of those fat bitches on the government phone who's only job it appears to be is to say "Hold please".
