My bet is administrative and regulatory cost will far outweigh the 15 cents collected.
Bigger government running up more deficits, Merry Christmas.
Agreed. Yep, once the government got involved with their 15 cent tax, they some stupid government person would start thinking, hey since we are involved with this, we need to further regulate the Christmas tree industry. Voila, there you go! Just like health care, higher Christmas tree prices.
