Senate Democrats are considering several ways to tax Americans in order to pay for their leftist wishlist, otherwise known as the $3.5 trillion budget resolution.
According to a four-page document obtained by NBC News, one of the ways Democrats propose to pay for their wildly expensive plan, which includes carveouts for a civilian climate corps, universal pre-K, and other woke legislation, is through a “plastics excise tax

How much would Pelosi be charged for that face of hers? Gotta be a few lbs of plastic in there somewhere.
Hide your Tupperware.
Y don’t you guys come up with that? I’m too slow.
Democrat plan to bring inflation back under control.

I am not in favor of this tax (or any tax proposed by Dems), bu there IS too much plastic. Don’t know what the alternative is though.

I was in Maine a few weeks back,they require a 5 cent tax if you want your purchases in a plastic bag.

That’s it!
For years our locals recycled plastic. It had to be taken by trucks to North Carolina. After it was decided that it cost too much our state stopped recycling plastic. They didn’t tell the people so they were still separating plastic for 4-5 years. It ended up in the local landfills until they finally stopped the program that hadn’t existed for a while.
