Finally!

These greedy tree growers are finally going to pay. And the governments is going to use this money to promote and market Christmas Trees.

BS oblivion #1 - Government cannot call them “Christmas”
trees. They must call them Holiday trees.

#2 - What will they really do with the money they collect besides pay some new and additional employees to work for the promotion of christmas trees?

#3 - Will there be commericials or billboards? I doubt it.

This can only come from a government of idiots.

And they have the audacity to actually use the phrase “holiday trees” in there?

When are we going to tar and feather these slime?

C'mon!

If promoting fresh Christmas trees is so needed, why don’t growers just create their own organization and cut out the middle man (government)???

The best way to promote CHRISTMAS tree sales is to call them CHRISTMAS trees. No more “holiday tree” BS.

I only know about 1 in 5 people who may get a “fresh” tree. This tax could certainly put an end to those few who do purchase those trees. But then, one has to wonder if this report is for real since they are being called “Christmas trees” rather than holiday trees. Not very pc.

am I missing something but since when can zero impose new taxes?

This is pathetic and yet again the crap bias media will not cover this or put a positive spin on this.
Also they have nothing better to do than to do this while gunrunning from this admin has killed people.

I guess new taxes on Christmas tree is far more important than illegal gunrunning, hell the bias media don’t even cover the facts of the green energy scam payback and gunrunning along with murder.

I frigging hate this admin and this media

Make No Mistake:

This is not just another in-yer-face tax; this is a reverse (Bob Lonsberry style) FUBO to the real American people at a very special time of year!

Someone needs to put together an image of Obama as a tree topper, because the general public told him where he can stick his tree tax.
