3% additional Tax on Toilet Paper and Makeup.
LURKING Offer Upgrade User ID: 656081 United States 07/21/2009 11:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	3% additional Tax on Toilet Paper and Makeup. Really. It says it right in the bill, the “Water Resources Protection Act” (I know, I know — you were expecting it to be called the Protecting Infrastructure and Sewer Systems Act): ‘‘SEC. 4172. DEFINITIONS AND SPECIAL RULE. ‘(b) WATER DISPOSAL PRODUCT. — For purposes of this subchapter — (4) TOILET TISSUE. — The term ‘toilet tissue’ means toilet tissue, as determined under regulations prescribed by the Secretary.” No, it’s not as silly as it sounds. It’s sillier. The rulemaking to define what rises to the level of a bottom-wipe is in the name of a good cause: to tax the stuff. The current band of feds don’t think you’ve paid enough tax — this has been established ad nauseum — and now want a dedicated revenue, er, stream, to pay to replace corroded pipes and overburdened sewer sytems nationwide. We know what else is involved in the confines of the rest room so, naturally, there’s a “climate change mitigation” section as well though, upon initial scrutiny, it isn’t as invasive as the context indicates should be the case. It actually gets even more inane: in addition to adding a “3% excise tax on items disposed of in wastewater, such as toothpaste, cosmetics, toilet paper and cooking oil [because these] products wind up in the water stream and require clean up by sewage treatment plants,” according to Blumenauer’s Fact Sheet, water-based beverages, which actually hit the infrastructure both coming and, ah, going (as anyone who’s ever stood in line at a sporting event knows). So, those are hit with a four-cent per-container excise tax. Feeling flush yet?

It seems for several decades I was under the understanding that we paid taxes for allocating to our infrastructure and to PROTECT OUR BORDERS from foreign invasion-so far I am not impressed at all-as they are too busy with everyones' urine and seatbelts...whether I have had enough fiber... screw them and the WHITE horse they rode in on and they can take their fake peace banner and shove it- ********************************** fortitudo et spes ********************************** When Japan happened I responded: "The Excrement Has Impacted the Rotary Oscillator." and clearly it has.
