[midnight rambler]

It just gets more and more surreal - there's NOTHING fed.gov won't get involved in.

Triple-fvck 'em.

[BrewTech]

Perhaps some advisor suggested they attempt to "strike the root" of the economic problem...

::)

[chad]

at least they didn't call it a winter holiday tree board.

No this is targeted specifically against the christmas tree!

[Silver Rocket Bitches!]

The purpose of the Board is to run a “program of promotion, research, evaluation, and information designed to strengthen the Christmas tree industry’s position in the marketplace; maintain and expend existing markets for Christmas trees; and to carry out programs, plans, and projects designed to provide maximum benefits to the Christmas tree industry” (7 CFR 1214.46(n)). And the program of “information” is to include efforts to “enhance the image of Christmas trees and the Christmas tree industry in the United States”

Where do they come up with this stuff?? Strengthen the Christmas tree industry's position in the marketplace? That's laughable. They aren't even trying anymore. Just random taxes on everything.

[Neuro]

SRB it is newspeak for killing the Christmastree industry. Probably you can get around the tax if you start selling Hanukkahtrees instead of Christmastrees!

[chad]

i would also like to point out that a 'menorah tax' or 'dreidel tax' has not been forthcoming.

The Kenyan changed its mind - http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/11/obama-administration-to-delay-new-15-cent-christmas-tree-fee/

[madfranks]

President Obama’s Agriculture Department today announced that it will impose a new 15-cent charge on all fresh Christmas trees

20 cents of which will be lost in overhead before they even begin their "work".

[madfranks]

According to christmastree.org, "there are approximately 25-30 million Real Christmas Trees sold in the U.S. every year." 15 cents x 25 million equals a budget of $3.75 million for this new Christmas tree board. That's quite a budget! I imagine a group of a dozen people each making $250,000 salaries playing on the internet for most of the work week and then submitting made up reports to their directors at the Ag dept.

[Ponce]

I can only wonder if they will also have the "I bless thee" Zionist "Jewish" tax with a big C at the top.

[iOWNme]

From the article:


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.

They should have thought about that before they took prayers out of schools, the word 'God' out of the pledge of allegiance, and having Christmas trees at schools.

This is a cover to make sure the sheep dont notice that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS GONE OUT OF ITS WAY TO KILL CHRISTIANITY.

Fixed it for you.

i would also like to point out that a 'menorah tax' or 'dreidel tax' has not been forthcoming.

exactly what i was thinking. i might even put that on my Occupy sign.

i'm beginning to respect the Occupiers - they are beginning to tell the truth.


and you know - in this time of growing anti-Semitism (per the ADL) - don't we NEED a Menorah Promotion Board to protect the rights of Jewish-Americans ?

Wouldn't that make Christmastrees ridiculously expensive?

[big country]

Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree how lovely are your....taxes

[Ponce]

Some people say that those on Wall Street don't really know what the hell they are doing there....well.....protesting this new tax would make a good one..............they don't have a central leader to guide them as to what to do but everyone is now so pissed off that even by marching they are traying to say something.

They don't have to march in order to say something......all that they have to do is to placed a sign like mine (nine years now) on their front yard that says......."NO USRael".......that says it all.

White House Sidelines Christmas Tree 'Tax'

The White House has decided to sideline a proposed fee on Christmas trees, after the fee was ridiculed by critics as a tax on Christmas.
The 15-cent tax on Christmas trees was announced Tuesday in the Federal Register and was meant to pay for a new board tasked with promoting the Christmas tree industry. It was supported by Christmas tree growers, who wanted a stable source of revenue to fund a new marketing campaign.

Does anyone really believe that the GROWERS asked for a new Federal tax??
