It's True, It's True! "If It Moves, Tax It!"
In one of his famous sayings, the late President Reagan said that "if it moves, tax it." As if to prove how true that saying is, London's Indenpendent newspaper reported yesterday that "Finance ministers from the G8 (group of nations) agreed at the weekend to look at using income from airline traffic to boost aid . . . The move, which could add a pound on to air fares, was greeted with delight by environmental groups who said it was a first step towards making people pay the true cost of plane travel . . . The G8 backed a pilot project, led by France and Germany, for a 'contribution of air travel tickets to support specific development projects.'" It never ceases to amaze the delight displayed by leftists in putting forth yet another tax scheme.
