Enough? Really? Then we don't have a budget deficit crisis in all 50 states?
Didn't think so.
I didn't say that everything that you don't need should be taxed. I am saying that it should be okay to tax those things. It wouldn't be okay to put a special tax like that on basic food things like flour or something... but candy and chips? Its a luxury... so it can be taxed like any other luxury. I don't have a problem with that. The government needs the money, and its not something that anyone needs...
And anyway 1% doesn't cost you much but it makes the state a LOT of money.
