Dear Candidate Romney and future conservative congress members.
Here is how we should use the federal governments vast taxing power.
Anyone not owning a gun - $ 5,00 tax penalty
No need to push for school vouchers anymore. Any one not providing private school for
their children $4,000 tax penalty per child.
Anyone without sufficient retirement saving in a approved large banking institutions - $2,000 each year until savings are sufficient (sorry but Wall Street banks are big political contributors
Anyone with a non-gas powered or hybrid car (you are avoiding gas taxes) - $2,000 penalty
Weigh over 300 pounds - $600 penalty (this ones for you Mayor Bloomberg).
You don’t have a computer Science degree but use a computer - $2,000 penalty. (this is completely self serving)
You don’t give enough to charity - $1,000 penalty (Called the Biden rule)
You don’t eat meat - $5,000 Penalty
You vacation in France - $800 Penalty
You don’t speak english well enough to pass a test $700 fine
You don’t have a Toby Keith album - $300 Penalty
You don’t avoid buying Dixie Chicks albums $550 Penalty
People are free to do what they want but we get to tax them for anything we don't like. In fact we can tax them for any reason at any time. Now I know the original constitution was written to prevent taxes from being used in this way but we have managed over time to change that. We are now free use taxes as a weapon to punish those we disagree with.
The downside is if they win they do the same thing.
King George III is dead, long live the Federal Government, your new King
