The new tax increases taxes on cigarettes by $1.00 a pack, adds a 3% "Snack Tax", burdens business' with either a franchise tax or 1.5% payroll tax. However, it does gives property owners a small tax break. Hardly a fair trade-off...
Ah. A tax shell game. Ok well, I'm all for turning them red in the face. Nothing wrong with making it clear you want more cuts sooner, and no new taxes. Go for it!
Maybe we should do the same thing here in Virginia. I could get people to sign some panties: the Pantywaist Petition! Yeah. Get people in Texas to sign the panties with flair pens. Or jock straps, depending on the gender. "The Pantywaist Tax Petition".
