Let's Raise Some Taxes!

TGregg · Jan 30, 2009

By golly, there's one place we could extract some more revenue. It's high time we hade a Celebrity Windfall Tax:

So Iâm proposing a Celebrity Windfall Taxâ¦ It should be easy to pass. Actors, Authors, Painters, Poets, TV Newsmen, and Athletes shall pay double. They have fun jobs, fun jobs that arenât hard work. They make windfall profits. Letâs tax the shit out of them.

I think financial market traders should be taxed at 65%, with a .25% transaction fee on both sides.

How about a 15% consumption tax on politicians? Private Jets, food, booze, drugs, hookers, car service, breast augmentation (Pelosi) etc.

Not only would we raise enough to pay off the national debt, these clowns would never re-run for office! BTW, why does the POTUS need to make $400K? Is there EVER a time he would need cash in his pocket?
