While I’m going to have to agree with Ruffini that Governor David Paterson’s proposal to start taxing things like Ipod songs and movie tickets is really pretty stupid - for a number of political and economic reasons but mostly that you don’t go raising the prices on the little things people like to splurge on [...]
