I must stop Christmas from coming but how?
The 15 cent sales tax failed, what now?
Shall I have the constitution amended?
Or convince America that by the Christmas tree they are offended.

USDA, just another useless agency that needs to be shuttered. Further, someone needs to tell the Xmas Tree Growers to do their own market research. Evidently they have lobbyists who think that the Feds need to “help” them. Both the government and the growers are a disgrace.

Revisit it? How about let’s not. This is a proposed tax on Christians.

Everybody is looking at this all wrong ..... This will be touted as giving Americans a tax cut.

Oh stupid peasants . . . the tax should have been $15 per Christmas tree, not 15 cents per Christmas tree. Obama will correct this.

U.S. Department of Agriculture is going to delay implementation and revisit a proposed new 15 cent fee on fresh-cut Christmas trees,

Little bammy will be on all TV channels tomorrow for 86 minutes bragging about his latest "tax cut."

“Delayed”. Just waiting for the outrage to blow over and move on to some other issue.

Dudden matter to us. We bought a really nice fake tree a couple of years ago. Easy up, easy down, no messes, dropped needles. Plus I do my one good green thing for the year since I don’t practice green! ;-)

This is basically a tax on one religious group. Did Obama really ever pass the bar? I mean on his own. A guy who needs a teleprompter to say “It's raining outside” probably had to have some help all along the way. It just strains the credibility index that Obama really has any understanding of U S Law.

So he can raise our taxes without going through Congress but won’t this year?

That’s very big of him.

See - he’s a dictator, but benevolent.

And you guys were worried. :)

For years, the Enviros were hammering us to use atrificial trees-—to cut down on the landfill impact of discarded trees.

Now they want to tax Christmas trees-—

Make Up Your Minds!!!!
