One of the goals of the communist movement is to do away with all American traditions.
I don't think this is about "helping" Christmas tree farms. This is about eventually doing away with Christmas tree farms. The communists now have their heads in the tent. They now own the Christmas tree business. It's 15 cents today, but a couple of years from now, it'll be 15 dollars. People will have to stop using Christmas trees, because they'll be too expensive.
Think about who we're dealing with here. See the bigger picture. The left hates Christmas. It's an evil, intolerant, religious holiday, and the tree is it's symbol. All of a sudden, it's so important, a tax is needed to save it ??? Yeah. Right. The left loves Jesus Christ. They always have - NOT.
Obama is now ‘delaying’ the tax. Rush is reporting he’s dropping the idea after Rush reported on it minutes ago.... lol
If the goal is to remove Christmas trees to attack Christmas (and they love doing that) I believe it come about by making it cost prohibitive to grow or import Christmas trees.
Perhaps to get around new laws/taxes/fees, the growers, importers, sellers will have to avoid identifying the product as "Christmas Trees" since that is what is being targeted.
and then you have "Holiday Trees" for the "Holiday Season"
