What the hell? The #NewJersey state legislature is considering hiking the sales tax in certain areas to pay for preparations for the #FIFA #WorldCup. Why do my purchases need to be taxed because some stupid sport is in town?

The World Cup doesn't need any more of NJ's tax dollars • New Jersey Monitor

Some NJ lawmakers are eyeing a temporary sales tax hike to coincide with the World Cup. I think we’ve spent enough on the tournament.

FIFA is probably second to the IOC for demanding tribute for allowing you to host them.
Think Zil Lanes etc, the 2012 Olympics were a nightmare. Hope we tell FIFA to go do one after their recent stunts.

@AnguaDelphine Yep, they are both horribly corrupt organizations. In addition to being total dicks.
