My son just came back from a visit to Ireland, where he was told that people in Ireland must register each tv that they have in their homes and pay a $70/yr for each tv. He said that they have inspectors that randomly visit each house and search for tvs and even if you have a tv in your basement thata is not being used, you will get fined if it is not registered. That’s why Ireland has such low income taxes, they have all these other global warming taxes.
Oh, that is nothing new. They’ve had that in Europe for generations, and decades. I remember when my parents had to pay a monthly fee for the radio and television broadcast in Germany
