			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>So, not only is Governor Paterson <a href="http://thebuffalobean.com/2008/12/15/governor-paterson-to-rob-us-blind/">increasing welfare grants for those who don&#8217;t pay taxes</a>&#8230; he is financially raping those of us who do.</div>
<div>Here <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2008/12/16/2008-12-16_gov_david_paterson_unveils_dire_new_york.html">is a list of some new fees and taxes (read: taxes and more taxes) he wants to impose on us</a>.</div>
<ul>
<blockquote>
<li>An &#8220;iPod tax&#8221; that charges state and local sales tax for &#8220;digitally delivered entertainment services&#8221; &#8211; in other words, that new Beyonce song you download.</li>
<li>State sales tax at movie theaters, sporting events, taxis, buses, limousines and cable and satellite TV and radio.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Tuition increases at SUNY and CUNY, $620 and $600 a year respectively.</li>
<li>A 50 cent tax on cigars. The current tax is equal to 37% of the wholesale price, or 34 cents a cigar.</li>
<li>No more sales tax break on clothes and shoes worth $110 or less, except during two weeks a year.</li>
<li>Higher taxes on wine, beer and flavored malt beverages. He would also impose an 18% tax on non-nutritional drinks like soda.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</blockquote>
</ul>
<div>I guess the good thing about this is that when it comes time for him to run for reelection he may drive the voters to beet him out of office.</div>
