New taxes...new constitution

As the Daily News reports, a US$75K home is now subject to a "Luxury" tax...the Legislators are attempting to ammend the constitution to avoid coming elections and extend their term in office...who the f**k do they think they are? How stupid do they think we are?

I beleive this is not a NEW tax. Just one that they are starting to enforce (IVSS). It is 1/2 of one percent of the apraised value of the home US$500. on US$100,000.) Seems they are desperate now to cover all the stupid loans they have been taking out to finance their new jeepetas etc and now are looking to get more money anywhere they can while still in power. With their new found money they can all move to the US or somewhere when the next govt comes in so what do they care.

anathema to free markets and rule of law

There is little more pernicious to a developing free-market democracy than the wanton lawlessness and incest the PeRroDeros are putting us thru now.
