It's the Great Pumpkin Tax Charlie Brown


The taxman is cometh for your pumpkins. Tax collectors in Iowa are claiming that pumpkins are a decoration, not food, and should be subject to sales tax.

"We made the change because we wanted the sales tax law to match what we thought the predominant use was," [department spokesman Renee] Mulvey said. "We thought the predominant use was for decorations or jack-o'-lanterns."
In a great moment in government bureaucracy, if you plan to eat your pumpkin you can still fill out a tax-exemption form. I wonder if I can fill out one of those forms when buying a cat, as long as I plan to eat it.

Any way these greedy politicians can line their pockets with illgotten gains, Frankly these tax and spend politicians should be taxed themselves

SOBs would tax the air we breathe, if they had a way to measure it per person.

They do. It's called the Clean Air Act.

There's a tax on cats?
Thats just plain fucked up
What happens if the cat catches lots of mice? Do you get to send them in for a tax rebate?
What about a big fat lazy fucker? Is there an 'inactive pussy' box to tick?
I'm going crazy over here.
