Did they include a mountain climbing tax, skiing tax, bicycling tax.

How about a tax for getting a helicopter to drop you in the wilderness with just a pair of skis, then getting caught in an avalanche?

...or equally stupid things.

No idea, but if I can pay a $2 tax instead of having to buy a David Yurman bracelet, I’m all for it.

I believe that’s fallacious - isn’t it ‘fellatio’?

>>Do you want to be taxed for going down on your wife or getting a hummer?

Remember the old Monty Pyton skit about a bunch of ministers and bureaucrats discussing how to tax thingie since they’ve taxed everything else?

Drinkers, batter up! In MA, the state has imposed a sales tax on alcohol. Never mind the excise tax we already pay for it.

Yesterday smokers, tomorrow drinkers.

Enjoy!

A recent British study advocated a complete ban on alcohol advertising with an aggressive campaign to prevent “binge” drinking. Sound familiar, kiddies?

If there is community rating there is nothing left for gubmint to do except coerce and cajole the sheeple to lower their healthcare costs. Collectivism 101.
