Taxation With Too Much Representation

Florida lawmakers have proposed a new tax. It is for the low, low price of just 2 cents per item. What is the item you ask? Toilet paper.

The dim-witted Democrat who is sponsoring the bill knows how to completely cripple party image. The guy is probably jumping ship, and is doing an undercover smear job. I can see Republican's pointing and laughing at this guy, and making referances for years to come that "those darn liberals will tax everything, including toilet paper!!!" I wouldn't blame em either. This guy is really an idiot to come up with an idea like that.

The tax rate is 2 cents per roll. I am a bit confused at how they will handle double rolls. Its one roll, but its two. If the manufacturers change the name to something like "big roll" would that lower the tax, since it isn't a "double roll" anymore. If a double rolls is taxed the same as a single roll, will more people buy double rolls to save the money?

It doesn't totally surprise me though. There are a lot of asses in politics, so it is just a bit of over-representation. Lets just hope, for Florida's sake, no one boycotts toilet paper if the tax goes through.
