New York politicians never met a tax increase they didnt like.
Ms. Gaskell’s editor has quite a sense of humour...
NY Post headline writers sure do have a way with words...
You know that politicians have reached a new level when the porn industry looks down on them. Great headline.
"I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it,... "
[ ooo, I'm getting in trouble for saying that ]
> A manager at DVD Video in Times Square said porn lures tourists to New York and helps boost the economy.
LOL! That is one of the most honest statements I’ve read about NY.
I wonder if Spitzer would have proposed this?
I grew up in NYS. They are idiot liberals, tax everything that moves. How hard is it for internet company to move? They are counting on Pelois forcing internet users to pay for out of state purchases, only congress can regulate that.
and the Monty Python proposal to tax “thingey” edges ever closer to reality in New York.
Obviously they've never heard of P2P filesharing and BitTorrent. If they tax downloads to death, people will simply resort to piracy.
When downloads are outlawed, only outlaws will have downloads.
Hard times indeed.
.
Inquiring minds who have kept abreast of such matters note
that New York Governors shift the laws and regs
to favor porn/skin/peep bizs in which they have
invested interest, such as the Emperor’s Club.
.
So who will judge what is porn? and who gets a pass in NY?

Obama will kill online shopping with taxes taxes taxes.
People will have to get used to using their internal spank bank.
sales tax trojan horse.
This is just a way for NY state to try and sneak a sales tax on the internet which has been prohibited for years.
When the govt makes money from vices like liquor and gambling they are less likely to try and put an end to them. Instead they advertize them to keep revenue up. Look at lottery ads whose purpose is to separate the stupid from their money. What next, the govt advocating porn and prostitution?
Just curious how one taxes a download? Is it done at the point of sale by the buyer or does the service provider (Itunes) add a tax to any download from New Jersey?
FYI..there was a story psoted here a few days ago, on one of the threads about the MSM...that the porn industry is scrreaming bloody murder..that “free porn” sites are killing them..that revenues are way down..
