Isn't it sad that Caroline Kennedy has to kowtow to the Rev. Al Sharpton in order to gain his support for the Senatorial position from New York? Al Sharpton of all people. Isn't Tawana Brawley old enough for the job? Al Sharpton is now one of those New York figures who decides the fate of political candidates in the Empire State. The daughter of President John F. Kennedy is slavishly throwing herself at the feet of a racist troublemaker all the while seeking a positive word from him. What a joke!
The world is spinning out of control.
Speaking of New York: I had written that Governor David Paterson was considering asking his legislature to implement a 15% tax on soda cans that weren't diet in nature. I stand corrected. It's now at 18%. In addition, the guv also wants an increase in taxation on 88 specific items; normal things like increasing food taxes, clothes purchases, etc. Not to exclude the rich, there would also be increased taxation on beer and cigars, up to 34%. The list is too extensive to mention here. Wait!!!! He wants a tax on ipods and downloading your favorite music on them; a 4% tax. Need I add that Paterson is a liberal Democrat? I wonder how many vacationers will stay away knowing taxes will be added to hotels/motels and restaurants plus a 13% increase on gasoline?
Here's the all-time, big-time question: What does the Democrat Party in the State of New York do for the people that allows them to be overwhelmingly elected year after year? Stop me if I already mentioned that California has their own tax plans similar to that of their East Coast brethren.
