How Many Ways Can the Government Find to Tax You?
If you answered "Infinite" to the above question, you may be correct. Last week, USA Today reported that one Florida legislator "is flush with good ideas." The paper reported that Florida Senator Al Lawson (D) from Tallahassee "is proposing a 2-cent-per-roll tax on toilet paper," and would be used "to pay for wastewater treatment and help small towns and counties upgrade their sewer systems. It also reported the senator has "been enduring plenty of jokes -- bathroom humor, you might say." It's a shame that politicians don't work as hard to control government spending as they do thinking up silly ideas with which they can steal more of our hard-earned money.
