Personally I think it’s a subsidy for Vacuum Cleaner bag manufacturers.

To: ColdOne
Did congress decide this tax? I don’t see where it says they did. Am I missing it? (I’m on medication for my tooth and my head is fuzzy)

A tax to advertise the benefits of live trees over fake ones. Ah ha ha haha ha! Yeah just as soon as they use 100% of the money for entitlement programs.

Can anyone explain why this isn't a tax on Religion?
I think it is, and as such is illegal.

Really it is part of the jobs plans
15 cents on each tree, $5.00 in estimated overhead to process, collect and pay the 15 cents on each tree. It is just the way a liberal thinks. How can I figure out more ways to keep government workers employed.

How the hell can a department impose a tax? Even King George III had to go through Parliament to impose taxes on us. Christmas tree dealers should refuse to pay it.
To: Fiji Hill
Christmas tree dealers should refuse to pay it.Do You really think they will? Many are just trying to put a buck together. by the time the season comes and goes, they will also have come and gone.
No paper trail, especially if they do sales under a different business name.
What is scary are the little non-profits that will get tagged later by some stupid bureaucrat and send a big demand for unpaid taxes.
