Who Can Tax The Sunrise?
Seems the state of New York has been running out of ways to tax it's citizens. This is terrifying news for a state rapidly approaching bankruptcy. Elected officials who have been tasked to think "outside the box", have come up with one idea of which there are sure to be many more. Tax bicycles.
Michael DenDekker, a Democrat - what else - from Queens, has introduced legislation that would require EVERY bicycle in the entire state have a $50 license plate, have to be inspected EVERY year and registered EVERY year to make sure that they "conform...to requirements." Additional legislation, yet to be but soon to be introduced, would require EVERY bicycle rider to carry identification and insurance. (Presumably this would not apply to illegal immigrants)
Sharky&Sharky fully expect the insurance lobby is behind this and the state is not far behind them. After all, there is NO price too high to save the children.
