    See! This...

    May 5th is fabulous. No presents to buy, no trees to phuck with, no decorations to pull fromt the attic, no cooking, no snow, no family just beer, sunshine, and tacos. It doesn't get any better than that.

    its a tax the tree growing industry wanted because the $$ will go to marketing for them.

    False. I guess you are saying Christmas trees need to be marketed because people don't know what they are for? The administration said that's what it would be used for, but it is just the start of them getting their claws into yet another pie. If the Christmas Tree Assn wanted to market their product, why not just collect a fee themselves? Why do they need the govt to do it for them? That's just stupid.

    Live Christmas Tree growers are being put out of business by competition with chinese artificial trees. They are looking for a way to promote their product and protect their industry. What better way than with government help?

    You're saying an industry lobbied the government to tax their industry because they will then use that money to increase revenue. That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard and can't be true.
