WTF? Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Tax

Just when I am starting to open up a business along comes this slimy insult.

Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Mobility Tax

http://www.tax.state.ny.us/wt/mta_ind.htm

ahem... I never use the public transportation...I walk so what gives.

Yes siree when the MTA raised their prices and lowered their already too low to lower standards and service, well I took to the streets. Doesn't make sense to grind up 1.5 hours when you can walk it 45 minutes or less does it? Sure there are addicts everywhere and dogs taking their hourly grunt all over the sidewalk but hey its much worse on the subway. Once I was pushed so hard that my scoliosis hurt for one week, bear in mind I do not have insurance. It would be safer to be a beginner driver on Sawmill Road than get on the #6 or #4 line at 86th street. Mind you I am never at a door I was just straphanging. Yep, no ipod in my ears, or eating MacDonalds or sipping Starbucks or any of the loony acts of these passengers. Yes someone woman took the ipod out of ears, through her mac papers on the floor and pushed anyone who was in her way so she could exit.

So why will I be taxed? I don't use the service and I don't use automobiles or taxis.

This state is too creepy to crawl in. Its such a farce.
