I have another idea. Use prison inmates and put them to work repairing roads and bridges rather than being useless members of society. The chain gangs did much good and taught criminals that working is better than jail.
I know, I know, it just would not be faaiirr.

lol brilliant!

How about a tax on being a politician? You have to wear a red P stitched to all your clothes, and whenever you make any kind of transaction, it’s doubled. Tolls, groceries, drivers license fees, movie tickets, gas, houses, etc.

Also, people can throw rotten vegetables at you with impunity. Oh, and you have to use separate toilet facilities and water fountains than the general public.

Outstanding idea!!

Also some of the revenue from the proposed tax could be used to plant trees to replace those wasted on making The Virginian Pilot- (Save the trees!).

And what about all the green house emissions generated in delivering this glorified fish wrap.
