I guess instead of trying to cut spending and make budgets like the American people have to do in order to survive, the government with rather take every penny the hardworking people make. I'm sorry I was just letting off a little steam there...and I don't even live in that state.

You know what just occurred to me, and you can write your congressman about this one, that tax is totally prejudiced against people with Gluten Intolerances. So, you wan't special no flour candy, because you will get sick if you have flour, BAM extra taxes for you! Soon it may be easier to just make our own candy, if only skittles weren't so delicious...

I don't live in Washington state, but I can be annoyed with you. The government is just looking to line their own pockets that is the only reason for taxes of the sort, on luxury or non necessities, like candy, gas, and booze. Property taxes are the only ones I understand, I pay you, to come put out a fire, and investigate a burglary, that is the only tax I understand. All political positions should be unpaid, seriously, stop paying them, and then you will get honest, sincere, service oriented people, that actually care what their constituents want. Sincerely and With Appreciation.

You mean you can't?? I thought there was freedom of information down in that country. Steal a copy, I am sure it would enrage you to revolt....apparently we pay some silly amount of money to all sorts of things we could do with out, Canadian in case you was wondering.

Wow! I hadn't heard about that. Kinda crazy. Is it being used to help with obesity? I've heard of New York trying to place taxes like that on items like Soda. People can't even treat themselves anymore without being taxed. It's unreal!
