The downloads tax is one thing. Although I dont think they are entitled to it unless the business is operating in New York. But a really good way to get New Yorkers to stop using taxis and going to bars is to make it more expensive then it already is. A beer in New York cost $6 to $8 on average. People love drinking and they wont stop because of this. But they will either drink less or do it in their home. Either way; the bar loses, the consumer loses, the government loses and the recession gets deeper. The rich are the folks who save, for everyone else money burns a hole in their pocket. Save them money, they will spend it on more items and you still get to collect taxes.
