Suggested New Taxes For Obama's Budget
SEARCH BLOG: TAXES.
We need new taxes. Debt is raging and spending cannot be cut without hurting those who are most vulnerable in our society... politicians. Literally dozens of politicians would be thrown out of their jobs if they failed to deliver the customary freebies to their special interests. Consequently, we need to be creative in our taxing.
- 10% church tax. There are so many wealthy churches out there. They have hardwood pews and expensive stained glass windows. Money up the kazoo. They won't miss some of that cash that's just lying around. [image]
- 20% charity tax. These charities raise millions of dollars each year, maybe billions. They are supposed to help the poor or sick, but that's the job of our government, not private individuals or groups. Besides, they have huge administrative costs unlike the government which returns $2 for every $1 collected. Charities are so 18th century.
- 30% meat tax. Vegetarians don't need meat so why should anyone else? It's a luxury and should be treated as such. Think of all of those hamburgers and chicken sold at fast food places. Luxury, that's all it is. There are plenty of soybeans available. [image]
- 40% new car tax. What's the matter with an older car? There are millions of older cars... and second cars around. New cars require energy to produce and that produces CO2 which will kill everyone in 20 years if we don't have sequestration. Walking is healthier.
- 50% electronics tax. People buy new cell phones and TVs much too often. Besides, all of those electronics are cluttering the airwaves and making birds ill. Someone has to save the birds and that will cost money... lots of money. The government will do it, but it's time to stop the offenders. [image]
- 60% health care tax. Oh, wait. That's being handled already.
- 70% energy tax. People in Africa and India get by without all of that expensive heating and air-conditioning. It's healthier to have fresh air in the house and it will be fresher without all of that energy pollution.
- 80% education tax. Only applies to those who live within 100 miles of a school and based on average expenditures per pupil. Private schools will have a 20% surcharge on this tax. Exemption forms will be available in person at the IRS offices in Washington, D.C. Please have 4 sources of picture identification and your original birth certificate which will not be returned. Members of Congress, the Executive Branch [department heads and above], and those illegally in the U.S. are exempt from filing exemption forms. [image]
- 90% birth tax. New children are taking up valuable space and resources better used by Canada geese and coyotes. Tax based on average cost to raise a child to age 25 when they can become wards of the government.
- 100% death tax. You don't need it anymore and your government does. Trust us. [image]
