Taxing people who can't vote you out of office is not a new ploy. We've been doing it in the U.S. for years.

Airport "landing fees" -- passed on to the passengers, of course; rental car taxes to fund the local convention center; huge room taxes in hotels to fund the local museums; and on and on. No taxation without representation? Dream on.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

A smart, logical move.

Visitors want to go there, they should pay for it, right? Ain't nuthin' free in dis world!

Sounds like another place I shan't visit.

Sounds like another two places I shan't visit.

Hey more taxes, this time in Europe. Can I hear a big amen from our American marxists who love em so much. After all from their standpoint a tax is sweet no matter where it's imposed !!!

[Mike Darancette]

That's a really good idea, the US should charge $10 a day for visitors. A fee of $5.00 per car and or $2.00 per person should be charged for crossing the border into our country. Finally there should be a tax of 10% for money transfers from the USA to a foreign country.

Venice is essentially a functioning open air medieval theme park anyway. Now they're just confirming it by charging admission, no differnt than Disney World.
