The Frontier Sixshooter Community Message Board - Taxing Christmas Trees https://sixshootercommunity.com/forum/ The Frontier Sixshooter Community Private Message Board en Taxing Christmas Trees (reply) Hey now, wait just a dang minute. CHRISTmas trees? That implies that CHRISTmas is a CHRISTian holiday celebration. The government can't be promoting anything to do with a CHRISTian holiday! They said so themselves! The ACLU will be all over them like a burqua.

So, if they can't promote CHRISTmas trees, why do they need a tax?

Who benefits, and (reply) My wife made all the same points you did. It is just an attempt to grab more, and to heck with logic.

Why does the Christmas tree industry need to promote it's image? Is there a competing industry that is trouncing the Christmas tree industry's business?

Why is the government involved?

Should there be a pumpkin tax next October to promote the Jack O Lantern lobby?

Should there be an additional tax on meat products during the summer to promote the barbecue industry? Or is this extra tax only appropriate for once-annual purchases that would not occur, but for the holiday?

Seriously, I don't get it.

I did see one article where the writer pointed out that this was ANOTHER election promise broken because this applied to EVERYONE, even those below the poverty level...
