A friend sent me the following email and I decided to post it for your review. Wonder what else can be taxed ...
Dear (Insert Idiot’s Name Here),
I heard the latest news release where y’all are considering taxing pop and medical insurance premiums in order to pay for, well - medical insurance premiums.
So being a good patriot I came up with some more stuff for y’all to tax. I mean why stop with just the bad stuff, seems to me if you tax the good stuff too you got both ends of the acid induced kaleidoscope covered that y’all look through.
In case you don’t get what I am talking about here are a few things that can be taxed:
Vegetables – Ya know fresh stuff causes embarrassing gaseous emissions that cause global warming, so why not tax human flatulence (farts to us non Congressional types). And besides it’s picked by those who do jobs Americans won't do. So you get those taxes to boot!
Coffee – Since you can afford five bucks for a cup of ‘Joe’, then a few more bucks won’t bother ya, and besides it just frosts my donuts to wait in line longer to pay for my bottle of pop while the clerk makes your latte.
Words – Tax yourselves and the drivel that comes from y’alls mouths. Really the amount of harmful gas that emits from Washington in the form of press conferences could easily pay for the programs y’all want.
Drugs- Not the prescription ones or the illegal ones. Only tax the drugs that you lawmakers take. Cause only a brain dead druggie could come up with the stuff ya'll vote into law these days.
Sounds stupid, yeah it does to me too. That’s the travesty of it all. For some reason those who have been sent to represent us seem to forget they take the following oath of office:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
Now from where I sit either you have abandoned your oath or you are negligent in your execution of the duties you swore. In any event neither is legal, but you already know that don’t you? Oh, and by the way, having your crooked little fingers crossed while taking said oath don’t count. In short since you don’t obey the laws, why should we?
Another Happy Constituent – NOT!
