Here’s a feel good story to start off the week. Apparently New York, your state and mine, home to the Yankees, Junior’s Cheesecake, and Viva Juan in Farmingdale, has the highest taxes then any other state in the country. That’s right, we’re number one! Take a bow!
I know there are some of you who are probably thinking, “But John, New York only just raised taxes on rich people, and all rich people are criminals. It’s not fair that they, or anyone else, make more money than I do, so they owe me some of it.” You would think so, huh? Yet apparently it’s not just those evil rich people who are getting it up the…err, I mean having taxes – or “fees” raised.
So sayeth the always fair and balanced “Wall Street Journal…”
I have a buddy of mine who you would say is one of them “liberals.” I used to refer to him as the Colmes to my Hannity until he went apeshit on my one day, and while the Richard Cohen to my Joe Scarborough might be more accurate, it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue. Bottom line he’s someone I disagree with regularly, and one of the few I enjoy talking to.
