[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 943075, member: 17969"] Why dont we start at the begining. The very first claim of this website is that OBAMA wants to tax christmas trees. The reality is, the christmas tree industry wanted to TAX ITSELF! Yes, thats right, I said they want to TAX THEMSELVES! Sounds ridiculous? No, its been done before. But why?? Well, its been done over and over. Especially during the BUSH administration. Do you all remember the ads on television that featured "GOT MILK?" Well, those ads were paid for by the milk industry asking the goverment to tax milk and place that money in a special fund that paid for all those ads for years. Its been done in many industries. SELF TAXATION. The christmas tree industry ASKED the Obama administration to TAX TREES so they could place that money into a special fund so they could advertise and battle against synthetic trees. The real tree industry is losing market share to fake trees and with the help of this special goverment assisted fund ( like the GOT MILK fund) they believe they can regain market share. The website doesnt explain this, and attempts to convince the readers that OBAMA himself wants to tax trees as if to collect extra money for the goverment. Its really ridiculous at best how people can be taken for suckers by websites like this one. Each CLAIM is a distortion of facts and it can pin back the ears of gulible people. Peace. TOS [/QUOTE]
