Gov. David Paterson unveils dire New York State budget that includes new taxes, layoffs and cuts

Some of his great ideas:

An "iPod tax" that charges state and local sales tax for "digitally delivered entertainment services" - in other words, that new Beyonce song you download.

Higher taxes on wine, beer and flavored malt beverages. He would also impose an 18% tax on non-nutritional drinks like soda.

Sounds like change we can all believe in...coming to a tax office near you soon!
