Looks like their answer to everything this year is a new tax.
I wonder how long New Yorkers will stand for it.

the funny thing is, once you add up all the taxes and fees and licenses we pay and add it to our average income tax, we pay nearly as much as those social democracies in Europe that have universal health care and put their citizens through college. Fucking ridiculous

human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual abuse and child prostitution. <----- What does ANY of these things have to do with strippers? Anyone?

And the government doesn't pay for ANYTHING.. The people do.. Fuckin morons.

sucks for sure!

AND we dont have pole tax :)

That's so ridiculous it's almost funny...

They ship girls in from places like eastern europe/eurasia or central/south america and keep them in slave like conditions to work at strip clubs. I know a bunch of girls that had to literally escape. :2 cents:

This year in Toronto we got a new car tax, something like $65 ANNUALLY for EVERY single car on the road. If you have 5 cars, 5 taxes.

Not to mention the recent Land Transfer Tax that milks a few thousand dollars out of each home sale.

Perhaps you'll enjoy the new $300 "green audit" you'll soon need to sell your house.

Or the somewhat recent Drive Clean program that requires everyone with a car older than 10 years to get an emissions test every 2 years.

Or the garbage sticker program, where each house gets a couple bags of garbage per week, and if you happen to produce more garbage, you need to buy stickers from the government to put on each extra bag.

Perhaps you'll also enjoy their idea of clear plastic bags for all garbage, so they can see whose throwing away what - and whose not recycling... So they can.....

Impose a "you don't recycle" ticket on your ass.

Or the new $700 per home electric Smart Meters so they can charge more for daytime use of electricity, and find out whose got grow ops. Funny thing is, the SAME fucking electrical company last year said that people in Toronto were basically were "conserving too well" and now the city wasn't using enough electricity to keep their infrastructure growth in check, and therefore needed to jack the prices way up to compensate.. lol.

Perhaps you'll enjoy that they tax car sales EVERY single time the car is sold too. Car company sells car to dealership (1 tax), dealership sells car (2nd tax), owner sells their now used car (3rd time taxed). etc etc.

You used to be able to sell your car to a family member for example for $1. Now that's illegal. Cars must be sold at Blue Book value or more, or they'll be taxed on the blue book value anyways.

Can someone remind me why we just pay and don't team up as citizens to fight this stuff?

Oh yeah! And now you have to pay I think $0.10 per plastic grocery bag, to keep them out of our landfills......... *VOMIT*

This was not a problem before the state government was $14 billion in the red?

Keeping slaves is illegal. This is just a bullshit justification for a tax the state needs because they are broke.
