obama's christmas tree tax

[mudwhistle]

Unlike Christians, Atheists do whatever the hell they want.
Not just what their religion tells them to do.

I, as a Christian, am not doing what I want?

I hate to break it to you, but I WANT to be a Christian, or I would not be one.

If you are not doing as the bible tell you to do then you are not by definition a Christian.

The majority of people need to be told what to do and what to think.

The Bible is not intended to be a word for word guide in a Christian's life.

Works alone will not allow a Christian to see heaven.

The most important thing is to have unending faith. The rest is something you have to work on every day.

Strange how God allows us free-will.

you really can't make shit this stupid up. fee free to defend it; i could use a laugh

"President Obama’s Agriculture Department today announced that it will impose a new 15-cent charge on all fresh Christmas trees—the Christmas Tree Tax—to support a new Federal program to improve the image and marketing of Christmas trees.

In the Federal Register of November 8, 2011, Acting Administrator of Agricultural Marketing David R. Shipman announced that the Secretary of Agriculture will appoint a Christmas Tree Promotion Board. The purpose of the Board is to run a “program of promotion, research, evaluation, and information designed to strengthen the Christmas tree industry’s position in the marketplace; maintain and expend existing markets for Christmas trees; and to carry out programs, plans, and projects designed to provide maximum benefits to the Christmas tree industry” (7 CFR 1214.46(n)). And the program of “information” is to include efforts to “enhance the image of Christmas trees and the Christmas tree industry in the United States” (7 CFR 1214.10)."

because you know, without the government, no one would buy a christmas tree.

Media Matters????????????????????? ROFLMAO

It is sourced material. You have been lied to. Doesn't it bother you when you are lied to?

Oh yes, the ACLU suing the shit out of anyone who dares to display a manger scene at Christmas, making kids sing songs WITHOUT the word CHRISTMAS in it, is all no big deal.. The only morons who believe liberal propaganda and tripe are the types of LOSERS who make up the OWIES violent movement.

I've got to hand it to you, Slingerland. Everything is certainly black and white with you, and you stick to it.

 

[blastoff]

Ding...ding...ding...Hey, I get dibs on the Christmas Tree Czar job that's sure to follow.

 

[paulitician]

This is a very slimy & weasly Tax. They pretend to be helping the Christmas Tree industry while screwing them and Taxpayers. This is another classic Socialist/Progressive Democrat dirty trick. Time to give these creeps the boot.

 

[Katzndogz]

If this regime were interested in helping the Christmas tree industry, wouldn't they be more interested in opposing the opposition to the public display of trees rather than taxing it?

How is this "screwing the industry", when they voted to impose this on themselves?

I think this thread is proof that many of them don't care if they are lied too as long as it promotes the pseudo-cons agenda to denigrate the President at all cost.

I was wondering if that little tidbit would get mentioned.

This thread should be sticky'd as living proof that some conservatives will accept any claim as long as it confirms their hatred of President Obama. Even when presented with facts to the contrary, they will continue to accept the claim.

Allow me to repeat myself.

Yes, the committee was formed under Bush.
They only batted around ideas for a while.

NOW they allow the tax/fee, or whatever you care to call the duck.

THIS administration could void the decision.
Will they?
Should they?

The people upon whom the fee is assessed don't WANT it voided. They are the ones who advocated for the program.

 

[paulitician]

Lets not put more Americans out of work. This Tax/Fee is absurd. It should be rescinded immediately. And they should then apologize to the American People. Just more Big Government stupidity. How can so many Americans cheerlead for Big Government? It's so bizarre.

 

[Liability]

Obviously the Obama Administration has a double agent working in it.

He got the Administration to THEMSELVES announce (get this) "a tax on Christmas trees."

So the Obama Administration sound byte is "Obama Administration attacks on Christmas Trees!"

The double agent is brilliant.

The Obama Administration is fucking stupid.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politic...tion-to-delay-new-15-cent-christmas-tree-fee/

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is going to delay implementation and revisit a proposed new 15 cent fee on fresh-cut Christmas trees, sources tell ABC News. The fee, requested by the National Christmas Tree Association in 2009, was first announced in the Federal Registry yesterday and has generated criticism of President Obama from conservative media outlets. The well-trafficked Drudge Report is leading with the story, linking to a blog by David Addington, a former top aide to then-Vice President David Addington, at the conservative Heritage Foundation assailing the president thus: “The economy is barely growing and nine percent of the American people have no jobs. Is a new tax on Christmas trees the best President Obama can do? And, by the way, the American Christmas tree has a great image that doesn’t need any help from the government.”
