Hey - how about starting yet another identical thread? Makes sense, doesn't it?

Taxing churches is illegal.

But Democrats will try to tax anything.

They sit around and make lists of things that they might get away with putting a tax on.


Take a crap? It'll cost ya.

Let your dog ride in your car without wearing a seat belt? It'll cost ya.


Don't people see what's going on here?

Actually, Slick, since you seem to have your nose up my butt, I posted this topic on the California forum first ... then soon thought to myself: "This will be great entertainment over on the Politics Forum" ... so I placed it here as well as an after thought ... but looks like the Moderator for California moved that one here.

All said, are you the thread police? Are there taxes due on double posting topics? One got moved here, not by me ... take it up with management.

Why don't you get Congress to pass a law that anyone who is a registered Democrat will have a higher tax rate?

It's what Democrats want. So Democrats should have to pay more.

How about we get Congress to give themselves a paycut, pay for own cars, pay for their staff, pay for their own haircuts, remove all the perks they get after they leave office, etc. They talk about cutting. How about they start with themselves?
