New Obama Tax on Fresh Cut Christmas Trees
This is our Christmas Tree from 2007. Every year we go up the street to a local nursery and get a beautiful Douglas Fir, likely grown in North Carolina, towering 9 or more feet in height, to celebrate our family and the Christmas Season.
Now, according to a recent Obama decree, every American who wants to enjoy a fresh cut, and need I say, ORGANIC natural tree, must now pay a 15 cent tax for that tree.
The tax doesn’t go to the general fund, but to some retarded organization, run by retards, in order to tell Americans how awesome natural cut trees actually are, because only retards need to be told that natural cut trees are freakin’ awesome.
And I guarantee you that these retards in the retarded Natural Xmas Tree Organization of America, or whatever the hell they call it, are each Democrat Donors and are probably godless retarded cretins to boot.
From Heritage here:
President Obama’s Agriculture Department today announced that it will impose a new 15-cent charge on all fresh Christmas trees—the Christmas Tree Tax—to support a new Federal program to improve the image and marketing of Christmas trees.
Acting Administrator Shipman had the temerity to say the 15-cent mandatory Christmas tree fee “is not a tax nor does it yield revenue for the Federal government” (76 CFR 69102). The Federal government mandates that the Christmas tree sellers pay the 15-cents per tree, whether they want to or not. The Federal government directs that the revenue generated by the 15-cent fee goes to the Board appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture to carry out the Christmas tree program established by the Secretary of Agriculture.
I never thought I’d say this, but can the ACLU please intervene in this? This is a tax on Christians. You certainly won’t see Muslims or Hindus having to pay this tax. Is this not a law respecting the establishment of religion?
Again, another tax imposed by Obama that won’t effect his constituency of self-hating, non-practicing Jews, atheists, and Muslims. Wonder if Barry would be willing to pass a Kwanza tax too? Nah, that would be racially insensitive.
