Greetings all, this will be a quick one. I was reading news this morning and came across what has to be one of the stupidest ideas I’ve heard in a while, and this time it wasn’t from Obama. Nope, this one was from a mayor. His bright idea? Let’s tax toilet paper!!
Mayor Jim Suttle of Omaha, Nebraska came up with this gem. He has sent his proposal, along with other stupid ideas to liberate money from those evil taxpayers to Washington.
From Omaha.com:
Among the items on his brainstorming list: a proposal for a 10-cent federal tax on every roll of toilet paper you buy.
Based on the four-pack price for Charmin double rolls Tuesday at a midtown Hy-Vee, such a tax would add more than 10 percent to the per-roll price, pushing it over a buck.
The idea came from a failed 2009 House measure by an Oregon congressman to help cities and the environment.
“I heard about it and said, ‘Well, this is simple. Let’s put it on the table,’” said Suttle. “It doesn’t mean I endorse it.”
Yeah, right. SURE he doesn’t endorse it.
Now lets play the game. Do you think that Mayor Suttle is a Republican, or a Democrat? It took me a good 5 minutes searching the Internet before I could find the answer.
Here is the question. If you guess correctly, you win an all expense paid trip to your bathroom. ((Actually you win nothing at all))
Thanks for playing “Guess the political party. ((And the answer is, he’s a Democrat. Yes it was a trick question))
