Lets brainstorm new things liberals can tax (illegal, Pelosi, health care)

[WillysB]

Uhhh, the obvious tax...

Your Internet use

[RayinAK]

They will tax all day, and spend all night. These are some of the things they have or will tax:
-Fat
-Sugar
-Salt
-Gasoline
-Property
-Telephones
-Internet
-Sports products (shooting, reloading, skiing...you name it)
-Tobacco (smoking, etc.)
-Pot
-Anything relating to sex, from magazines and toys
-Food
-Gasoline and all petroleum derivatives
-Driving (roadway tolls, vehicle registration, IM inspections)
-Death
-The rich, the poor

They will tax everything in sight to death, and will take everyone else into the drain with them, but they won't tax themselves.

How about this tax? It is greatly needed because this regressive ideology is costing this country and the world plenty. It's bad for your health and for the well-being of the nation. It brings down communities, divides the nation. It attacks sovereign nations unprovoked, nations that pose no imminent threat to this country. It makes a crisis out of every damn thing: housing, mortgage, gas, education, crime, the economy, health care, and employment. It allows the infrastructure to crumble, ignores technological and medical research. It promotes bigotry, is ineffective against illegal immigration, and favors cheap foreign labor over qualied American labor. Their leaders LIE to get us into a war then mismanage it so we as a country waste a trillion dollars and lose to a militarily inferior opponent. Absolutely pathetic the cost imposed by those backwards enough to follow it and live their lives by its creed.

I say we levy a tax on those who follow the conservative ideology.

But you already tax to death those who follow the conservative ideology. In fact, you liberals know of not one tax that's bad, and most of you hold local and Federal government jobs.

Take illegal immigration: before 1994 you liberals owned Congress for nearly five decades. Therefore you could have passed whatever you wanted in Congress. The same can be said about now, since not only Congress can pass whatever it wants, but still fails to pass anything because you are divided. Look at the healthcare bill: Congress and Obama could have passed this bill any time they wanted, since they hold a majority. What is holding the liberals back? The upcoming elections AND I am telling you...a lot of these rats will be voted out, from both sides.

Coffee and the evils of caffine should appeal to them.

Ha. Thats good stuff. True conservative principals don't fail. Facist neocon spin offs fall. Get it all straight.

Tax Oxycontin aka Hillbilly Heroin, and Viagra at $5 a pop, Rush Limbaugh alone will reduce the deficit

I think a fart tax would be fantastic..with the added benefit of a reduction in factory farming over the course of time.

How about a tax on government inefficiency and waste? Every time a government agency is cited negatively by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) they have to return a portion of the money allocated to them in their current budget in the form of a tax. There will be a tax form they will have to complete, accompanied by a 20 page instruction booklet and you know, just a few tax computation formulas. The laws for compliance will be found in a book no smaller than the Internal Revenue Code.

To pay for injuries and surgeries resulting from exercise, I propose a steep tax on running shoes and sports equipment. Hey, if you are going to engage in that risky behavior like skiing (broken bones), tennis (tennis elbow/repetitive motion), football (concussion, broken bones, strained ligaments), running and aerobic exercise (knee tears and strains, achilles tendon injuries), boxing (brain damage/hearing loss), etc., you need to pay more than the rest of us.
