The Olympics was a 3-400 billion dollar bailout with a federal check. I think even I could do that.
Mitt raised 250 million a year, a billion dollars total in tax..er..'fees'. Of course a 'fee' isn't a tax.
And of course, Massachusetts is now threatening to arrest and fine any citizen that doesn't pony up for the ballooning costs of state commanded health care. (The soviet union used to be called a 'command economy', but when Brother Number One Mitt does it, it's free enterprise. Just make sure vor papers are in order YA!)
“Of course a ‘fee’ isn’t a tax.”
It isn’t. A fee places the cost of a service on the person using it, instead of forcing everyone else to pay for it.
