Well it sounds to me like they are setting out to kill the Christmas tree industry. Tax the real trees and more people will go out and buy artificial. (shrugs)
I saw this scrawl on Fox News, and I have to be honest...it sounds like a joke to me.....That said, why would they tax live trees to improve the image of live trees, because the sale of artificial trees has so dramatically increased. If you want less of something, tax it. Why would they tax the live trees and not the artificial ones?
Dang, I better just keep quiet.
FUBO
You ain’t gettin’ no Christmas Tree tax, Obama
Bring out the Festivus Pole or I’ll cut one down myself.
It’s small, but you’re not getting that 15 cents, Barrack.
Constitution - Article 1
“All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.”
Rush said on his program today that this was requested by the tree growers. It did not start with the government.
This violates the “Separation of Church and State” as written in the Constitution.
