"It is the Latte Tax. The short story is this, there is a shortage of funds for early childcare, ages 3 to 5, in the area for low-income families. As a result, proponents of more funding for the program decided to target latte drinkers at the tune of 10 cents per cup to cover the shortfall"

Well 2 million of it went to the study of gay Indians......
The Revolutionary War was fought over freedom and taxes! Nearly 200 years later we have freedom,but we are being taxed to death. And in PA they the Dems and Governer Rendell want to tax beer of all things. We need fewer taxes .
That's right, Bush has a keen interest in sexual research that will cost the taxpayers at least $1.5 million. The National Institutes of Health will soon begin studying four very vital sexual questions:
Why do some Americans take sexual risks?
Do older American men experience a decline in sex?
What are the habits of Asian prostitutes in San Francisco?
And what about homosexuality among Native Americans?
As a guy who pays a ton of taxes, I really don't see the need for any of the above studies unless you are programming a cable television station. And because I love my country, I will volunteer to complete this study right now. The following research is rock-solid:
Americans take sexual risks because they are a) dumb; b) bored; c) self-destructive, or d) all of the above.
Old guys still like sex, but naps intrude on performance.
Asian prostitutes in San Francisco charge money and wear sweaters over their hot pants.
Leave Tonto and the Lone Ranger alone!
Okay, there's your study. Please put the $1.5 million back in the Treasury.

you're preaching to the choir! Property taxes
My county just upped our sales tax a whole 1%.
The county I work in has a 'sin tax' which was originally used to build the Indians stadium, which is done, but we still have the tax. The state I live in, suffering from brain drain, has raised taxes on everything and begun taxing things like cable television and dry cleaning. It's nuts! I can think of a certain political party you might want to stop voting for if you're fed up with taxes
