Using taxes to influence behavior is not unusual. Would you prefer

It is like this, if they tax you, I don't care, but, if they tax you,
they will eventually tax me, so, I really do have an interest in you NOT
being taxed after all ... first they came for alcohol, I said nothing,
and they taxed my cigs, I still said nothing, they went after taxes on
candy and soda pop, I am still not saying anything, now they want to tax
the exhaust from my tailpipe! *And, worst part, they ain't done yet ...

Learning Prez Obama's Tax-Speak©

Were Not Raising/Increasing* Your Taxes
* Were simply Taxing the Taxes

It's Not A New* Tax
* Were simply Taxing the Taxes

Prez Obama Calls It "Income Sharing" :
Honestly It's Not A Tax !
1st - 40% For Good Government Administration
2nd - 30% So Your Government Can Help Other Americans
3rd - 30% So Your Government Can Help Other World Citizens
4th - And . . . The Rest Is Yours ! :))

It's Not A Tax : It's A Tax Surcharge
