Pay a tax!
Published on March 11, 2005 By Dr Guy In Politics

Ah those zany democrat legislators are at it again!  Let's see, we had the roosters with boxing gloves and the 'hip hugger crack showing' fines fellows from Oklahoma and Virginia.

Now we have some clown in florida that wants to tax toilet paper!  Not sewage.  Not water, toilet paper!  The rationale goes, the more paper you use, the more full of shit you are! (Politicians must use it by the case load then!).

This is so stupid, it has to be funny!  But can you imagine the outrage?  WHat about the people who refuse to wipe because it would cost too much (Ok Parated2k, insert your famous quote here)!  Or who dont wipe enough to 'conserve' their now precious luxury item (as defined by what is taxed witha  luxury tax).

Or how about this!  The proposed law is discriminatory!  It penalizes females much more than males!  When was the last time Tom, Dick or Harry wiped after peeing?

When was the last time a woman (French excluded) did not?  It is patently obvious to any man who is married to a woman, that the major users of TP are women!  Just watch that roll disappear when you have a house full of them (as I had growing up and then 2 daughters!).

I think that all the women of the USA and indeed more importantly, Florida, should stand uup and demand that this discriminatory tax be flushed down the toilet!

Ladies, you have not come this far to be thrust back into discrimination by some male clown that stands and pees!

It's absolutely insane! Personally, I firmly believe there should be no sales tax on certain essential items, TP would definitely qualify!

I've used that slang term "mountain money" to refer to TP, but I never figured it for a form of taxation!! When you have to use it, haven't you been taxed enough?? ;~D

Thanks for the nod to one of my quote!! ;~D (((You should have seen my kids' reactions the first time I used that one against them. ;~D

If they (politicians) can see it, they will tax it.

Yes, this law would work very well going hand in hand with the 'crack' fine!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm... this thread gives the term "newspaper recycling" a new meaning

I agree. Totally absurd to tax TP. But, we tax gasoline to pay for highway building and repairs. We tax cigarettes to pay for ........ hmmmmmmm........ Why do we tax cigarettes?

My point is, we should look at the point he is trying to make when suggesting such a tax. Obviously, the bill will get flushed, so to speak. But the problem of overtaxed (no pun intended) septic disposal in a vunerable coastal area that is experiencing population booms is very significant. Something needs to be done. This is the overriding point, not toilet paper.

All I can say after having read your link, terp, and seeing that you mentioned me, by name, in your article (which is consistently a bad habit of yours, which is also against TOS), is you are full of SHIT.

Last I checked, I had no Dabe in me.

You are well within your rights to black list whomever you please, but you might want to actually check the content of several articles before you make such a move. If you are deciding based on one article, or even a few, then you may be missing a diversity of opinions which might surprise you.

You'll find that as noted somewhere in a thread, blacklisting individuals is something I don't enter into lightly as I feel even those I vehemently disagree with may offer insight into other alternatives I might not normally consider, or may have considered and dismissed out of hand.

There are plenty of individuals here at JoeUser that frustrate me. I might say things like "users like Dabe, or COL Gene, or --whomever--" but you would find it would take a pretty narrow view of things and a fairly thin skin to be able to make the leap that I'm ever personally attacking any such individual(s). Attack their positions, their credentials in some cases, maybe. Individuals, rarely, if ever.

I just commented yesterday to my boss that there is very little hate in my soul for anyone. A certain idiotic deputy sherriff (hopefully former) in Texas holds the one spot that I am consciously aware of. I may get frustrated with others, and strongly debate issues, but there are standards of decorum I try to adhere to. If you feel that I've crossed the line, then feel free to speak up and point out where. Do understand though that there's a difference between respecting your opinion and parroting acceptance of it. I hold the same right to be wrong that others do, and as well expect to be able to exercise my free speech (within reason) that I grant to others.

Not only are you full of shit, you're a lying sack of shit. You personally attacked at least COL Gene and me. So, get off that high horse, you incompentent ass. God, I hate liars.
