More ways to raise taxes

Someone already mentioned lawn mowing tax;
Handyman repair tax= 10% of bill; $2 fee eachtime garbage is collected; tax on water running off your property---oh, it has been done; tax on air breathed according to how many and age of occupants; fee to allow one to occupy city space with vehicles= boats, trailers, cars, trucks, motorcycles, golf carts==oh another one we have, sorry; and anything else with wheels or devices that make them go.
Graft payments for businessmen to increase employees salaries---done in NYC and other places all of the time.

It could be on a sliding scale with "good ones" (the ones that make some sense and are good reading) are tax free while those that are.....well, those that are just plainly nonsense are taxed rather steeply. Could raise a lot revenue don't you think. Smiling

cyclist: blog tax
Submitted by Bonkers on Tue, 08/25/2009 - 7:14am.

I've given this some thought and have decided that maybe your idea is good!
Such bloggers as you, dawn, git, politicians, and many of the other 497 + that Cal says are guests who occasionally blog should be considered for special awards.

The most tax should be levied about eating places, fishing, liquor stores, out of county children, hard working rich people who never struck a days hard labor in their life, Mexicans, crooked roofers (but not crooked bankers and others), lawyers, best beer and liquor store for socializing, hypocritical taxers (I have a few there), deputies, sheriffs, cops, firemen, alcoholic leaders, and sad tales of a personal nature.

Those who should be taxed the least are: People who call it like it is, no fuzzy lies to cover-up feelings, truths about public servants, truths about the wars and torture, not being overly nice to sad sob tales, wondering why the paper is prejudiced, saying some liberals are decent people, saying some liberal ideas are great, wanting conservative idiots out of office, giving some conservative ideas a chance (debt), Not worrying too much about the coming trillions of debt to add to Bush's eight trillion, saying all other religions are not all terrible, not calling us a "Christian Nation" when what we have is some Christians in our nation, could go on!!

You reminded me of why shouldn't we tax bicycle riders, in addition to tax for owning one, by the mile--if they ride side by side, quadruple!

Could catch them all on Saturday morning.

I'm already taxed. That's not a new revenue stream. Anyways, the blogging tax as I proposed could raise a lot revenue. Perhaps, millions from this board alone. Smiling
