Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Robert Casey Jr. (D-Pa.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.)All Demwits, all from other states. Another breakfast food flashback to Upchuck Schumer, who attacked cold cereal makers because in NY state the product cost over $4 a box. Not a peep out of the *ssh*l* about NY state sales taxes. How about gasoline? NY state excise tax is something Upchuck should have (and still should be) concerned about. Oh, but wait -- taxes benefit him and his. Demagogic Party / Partisan Media Shills ping.
I'm certainly no Chuckie Schumer fan, but technically the NYS sales tax does not apply to most food, including dry cereals. However, there are certainly other NYS economic policies which tend to drive food prices up.
