New NY Tax Unfair to Drug Dealers

Just how screwed up are politicians in New York? How about this from Special Report:

And a prominent Queens, New York Democratic assemblyman is criticizing a plan by fellow Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer to impose a tax on illegal drugs — because he says it is unfair to drug dealers. The New York Post reports Jeffrion Aubry says the so-called "crack tax" is an undue burden — since drug dealers already face fines and possible loss of property and money.

Aubry says — "this component adds another financial hardship on people who don't have a lot of money... (the plan could) create another class of individual who can't escape the process and has to go back out and sell drugs."

Poor babies.
