Cig Tax Outrage

Gov. Jim Doyle's proposed budget: $1.4 billion in tax increases.  The tax increases include: $540 million paid from oil company profits; $318 million by creating a new 7.75% tax rate for the richest 1% of taxpayers; $290 million in higher taxes on cigarette smokers; $215 million in higher corporate income taxes; and more than $85 million paid on capital gains.

 

"My budget stands up for the people who earn regular paychecks and the people who, through no fault of their own, have lost theirs," Doyle said.

 

I know I'm a bit conservative being from the Midwest and all, and I'm a smoker, but why hit all the "people who earn regular paychecks" with an additional $.75 a pack tax when you could hit up the highest 2.5% of taxpayers with his new 7.75% tax rate?  I mean Christ, the $400 that Obama is sending me is going straight to the state of Wisconsin.  And now New York wants to put a sales tax on porn downloads?  Stimulus package?  Stimulate this, mother fuckers!  [picture of me holding my nine inch cock in my hands with a very menacing scowl on my face]
