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

Posted by: Ravenwood at November 2, 2007 1:25 PMThere'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.
How about a tax on HOT AIR that would make AL GORE have to pay taxes for opening his big fat lying piehole
