I was reading news this morning and came across what has to be one of the stupidest ideas I&#8217;ve heard in a while, and this time it wasn&#8217;t from Obama. Nope, this one was from a mayor. His bright idea? Let&#8217;s tax toilet paper!!<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->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.<\/p>\n<p>From Omaha.com:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Among the items on his brainstorming list: a proposal for a 10-cent federal tax on every roll of toilet paper you buy.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The idea came from a failed 2009 House measure by an Oregon congressman to help cities and the environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard about it and said, \u2018Well, this is simple. Let&#8217;s put it on the table,&#8217;\u201d said Suttle. \u201cIt doesn&#8217;t mean I endorse it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, right. SURE he doesn&#8217;t endorse it.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the question. If you guess correctly, you win an all expense paid trip to your bathroom.
