They like this kind of thing in New Jersey.

Aw c'mon Rush...its just "the rich paying their fair share". eheheheheheheheh!

All you guys from the "Tower buggy whip" thread. Taxes have caught up to your listening pleasure.

BTW what's with the long nics? It takes forever to type them.

Another example of anti-freedom socialists doing what anti-freedom socialists do.

iTax

That's the simple, easy to remember, one-word indentifier of Democrats.

Garden State officials didn't stop at downloaded music and videos for the newly taxed set. New Jerseyans must now pay taxes on data processing; tanning, massage and tattooing services; limousines; and flooring and carpeting installation, among other things.

Why was tattooing exempt from taxation in the first place? Did tattoo artists have that much sway with the legislature that they could threaten to move to another state if they were taxed?

I wonder how many ITunes users voted for tax increases on cigarettes in Jersey.

[patriot_wes]

All you money are berong to us!

[primatreat]

They are now taxing shipping cost. Just got my notice from my Legal side. Can you imagine getting a tax on UPS charges. 7% on computed charges. Just how do you figure that out when there is usually a rebate to shipper based on volume? I can't believe I still have a business in NJ. 37 years of this crap...

[newzjunkey]

It's states like NJ that make CA look so SANE.

New Jersey launches iTunes tax

I guess the next thing they'll want to tax is the air the citizens of NJ breaths.

I am from NJ, and some of us do mind. This tax is from a governor who, when campaigning, would give out the standard line, "I have no plans for any new taxes." Once in office, he suddenly discovered that there was a big problem that he didn't notice before, and that a raft of new and heavier taxes was the only solution.

Every Democrat governor since Brendan Byrne has done the same thing, and the only Republican governor, old Tom Kane, spent state funds like a crazed RINO. We have had no good statewide politicians in office for decades.

As far as I can tell, they are all the equivalent of crooks. They most resemble holdup men (in their tax policies), and pimps and prostitutes in their relationship to the gambling "industry" and the teachers' unions.

Democratic Governor Jon Corzine proposed the sales tax expansion earlier this spring to help the state to recover from a $4.5 billion budget deficit, an ABC News affiliate in New York reported recently on its Web site. The changes, along with a sales tax rate hike from 6 to 7 percent, took effect on Oct. 1.

Let's see, the reason why they need to raise the taxes is because of a budget deficit caused by ????.

A. High dollar public contracts to campaign contributors
B. Failed social programs
C. Corruption
D. Spending like druken sailors
E. Rediculous government worker pay raises (for a special few) and BIG FAT pensions
F. All of the above

Hmmm... I'll take a guess and say the answer is F!

Democrats will suck $$$ from a rock. I hope every young person in this country will read and understand this: they will tax you on the sounds that waft through the air into your ears, and tell you they are your best friend at the same time!

I AM SOOOOOOOO GLAD My Family and I were sucessfully airlifted from that sewer in April of this year.

I am sooooo much happier in California....which while wacky, definitely has better weather.

My brother lives in Salem,NJ. The idiots there voted themselves in a property tax increase last year. His taxes are now about $6.000 a year. The politicians know the voters (Demorats) are fools and will believe anything. We are nothing more than a cash cow to them.

[dfwgator]

New Jerseyans get exactly what they deserve for voting that scum in.

[goldstategop]

Service taxes. Of course they don't repeal obsolete taxes. They just add new ones.
