Gun grabbers will go to any length to take as many guns from as many people as possible. The more people that are disarmed or criminalized, the better. So, with that in mind, it doesn’t particularly matter how asinine the reasoning, as long as the job gets done, it’s all good. Even if they have to justify it with a squirt gun, it’s all good!

Democrats Want EBT Cards Used at Casinos, Strip Clubs, and Bars
If the Democrats aren’t trying to encourage welfare fraud, why are they trying to stop taxpayers, from using government EBT cards at Casinos, liquor stores, and so forth? Moonbattery has more… That’s why they are making sure that EBT cards continue to be used to make cash withdrawals of other people’s money at casinos, bars, porn shops, and strip clubs, even as the nation staggers toward bankruptcy.

Cigarette Taxes Create More Failure? NY and Chicago Suffer From Liberalism
It’s common sense, really. If you tax something highly, human nature dictates that people will go out of their way to avoid the tax. Liberals, however, seems to have missed that, because they continue to tax and tax. Then, they are completely shocked and surprised when people do what they have always done. Hot Air has the latest… First, my own home stomping grounds of New York, which has been seeking a way to stave off total fiscal collapse by jacking up one of the highest tobacco tax rates in the nation.

New York Cigarette Tax Fails to Bring in Projected Revenues: Anyone Surprised?
One thing that statists miss is that taxes change human behavior.

For the latest, NY State is lamenting the fact that their cigarette tax revenue is far below expectations… The Empire State is struggling to bring in additional tax revenue it projected it would gain from efforts to stop smokers from buying untaxed cigarettes on Indian Reservations, reports the New York Post: The state’s tax collectors were recently [...]

We’ve covered many activities of organized labor; the violence, intimidation, general thuggery, and so on.

Here are the details from the NY Post… “They sent a message to the rest of the city that these particular labor issues are more important,” said City Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Queens), who was visited yesterday by a group of guilt-ridden sanitation workers who confessed the shameless plot. Halloran said he met with three plow workers from the Sanitation Department — and two [...]
Nanny State Alert: NY City Wants to Ban Soda for Food Stamp Recipients
It’s been said many times that government assistance comes with strings attached-that when you let the government do something for you, you cede control to them. That has been accelerating under our newest set of would-be “progressive” overlords, and here is the latest example. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg sought federal permission on Wednesday to bar New York City’s 1.7 million recipients of food stamps from using them to buy soda or other sugared drinks. Scoff if you will, but if they can tell people that they can’t buy soda, what can’t they tell people? So Obama voters, how ya likin [...]
Cash-strapped New York State Finds Novel Ways of Raising Cash
Customers in a popular Manhattan deli were surprised to find that if they wanted their bagel sliced it now cost 9 cents extra. Also, if bagels are eaten in the store, even if not touched by a knife or sliced, they cost extra. Running a 14 billion dollar deficit and with a lame-duck governor feuding with both houses of the state legislature the state Department of Taxation and Finance has started enforcing obscure laws such as the one just mentioned. “We have to come up with cash somehow” said Jamie Woodward, acting Commissioner of the Department. “I know New Yorkers [...]

Still thinking there’s no difference between the “Demicans and Republicrats?” Let’s take a look at the the NY State Senate. Recently, as described here in Redstate, two Demonrats defected to the Republicans, allegedly over pending gay marriage legislation.

Arlen Sphincter defected to the Demonrats. Our response? “Don’t let the door hit you on the *ss [...]
