Germany's Finance Minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble, had last week floated the idea of introducing a tax on petrol in Europe to help cover the costs of tackling the continent's worst migration crisis since World War II.

Sort of like your family getting charged for the bullet and 7 days leave for all the members of the firing squad that just caused you to attain room temperature.

Thank you, I have my moments. My daughter sternly disapproves of some of my descriptors.

All this does is give all the Milquetoasts and Mary’s and their friends that are ‘leading’ us the grand idea of US implementing the same.

Of course the sheeples will all fall in and say it is a grand idea when ‘they’ give the ‘anointed ones’ a tax break to cover their portion of this fabulous idea.

That sound you hear is SARCASM dripping all over the place.

The Germans are instituting Islam’s jizya, beating them to the punch to avoid unpleasantries such as beatings, stoning so or beheadings.. Interesting approach.

Not that such will be avoided. Dhimmis are not “protected” but persecuted at a slower rate.

Then Merckle will jump up and say

Maybe WE caused or instigated this problem

BUT

WE figured out a solution.

Of course these leaders will win their next election in a landslide.....

Which proves the ignoramusii have finally taken over the world.

Great idea except....make the tax temporary to raise funds to buy bus tickets and box lunches for all the muhammad men and women to be transported back to the litter box where they came from.

Is there such a thing as a tax they wouldn’t approve?
