It is apparently true that those who lose one sense find their remaining senses enhanced. Blind New York Governor David Patterson, for example, can sniff out a new taxes like a sow rooting up a truffle.
Just read these brief news stories about two new taxes recently proposed by wily New York Democrats:
Stripper Tax Is Hard to ‘Bare’
A Brooklyn assemblyman introduced a bill yesterday that would require patrons to pay the state $10 every time they visit a strip club or topless joint.
Felix Ortiz, a Democrat, said the flesh fee could raise as much as $500 million for victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual abuse and child prostitution.

Now combine the story above with the one below and you begin to see how invasive the Democrats’ tax plans can be.
Governor To Bury Plan That Would Mandate Taxes On Dozens Of Recreational Items
With his approval rating plummeting by the day and thousands of angry New Yorkers urging him to find other ways to raise state revenue, Gov. David Paterson has decided to put a cork in his plan to impose dozens of “nuisance” taxes on recreational items…
Paterson had planned to mandate a sales tax on numerous items…Paterson was also going to eliminate the no-tax rule on clothing under $110, but will nix that idea, too.

So there you have it. On one hand, New York Democrats want to tax strippers. On the other hand, they want to tax clothes. Which means they will tax the shirt right off your back. And the shirt right on your back.
