Tax Man Cometh, and His Name is Rick Perry

Whatever the opposite of a policy analyst is, that's us. But we did take a look at the Perry Plan Overview and pulled out these two items: 1.) Increase the sales tax to 6.95% and 2.) Increase the cigarette tax by $1.00. Then we went over to the 2004 data provided by the Tax Foundation's web site and discovered two interesting facts about Perry's plan.[AAS]

His proposed sales tax increase would give Texas the 3rd highest sales tax in the nation. Only Tennessee, Mississippi and Rhode Island have higher sales taxes. The proposed increase in cigarette taxes would put Texas at the top of this again, with only 7 states with a higher tax on cigarettes. Since we don't know anything about taxes or policy analysis, we suggest you verify and confirm.

Lastly, a tax on cosmetic surgery is just wrong.

There should be tax credits for cosmetic surgery.

Churches are running around tax free. I think. So what about taxing them as well as church going supplies. I'm just a bit tired of supporting everything with my gas guzzling truck to smoking porn and boozing. There are more on the moral right lets let them pay for some shit from now on. o yeah, leave the cosmetic surgery alone people really need that stuff.

I haven't gotten anything done recently. I've just been hanging out doing nothing. I haven't been up to anything these days, but it's not important. Today was a total loss.

I haven't been up to anything today. I can't be bothered with anything recently. Nothing seems worth thinking about. I haven't gotten anything done recently, but oh well. Not much noteworthy going on worth mentioning.

I can't be bothered with anything these days, but shrug. I just don't have anything to say recently. I haven't gotten much done recently. Nothing seems worth thinking about.

My life's been pretty dull recently. Shrug. My mind is like a void. I haven't gotten anything done lately. I can't be bothered with anything recently.
