See We Told You So

From Drudge and The Des Moines Register

First I tell my wife and neighbors ," don't buy gasoline with ethanol"
They say, "why not". I say, "because you pay for taxes on gasoline ,
you pay taxes for corn farmers and ethanol plants to get government
subsidies, and all food product prices are going up because corn prices
are going up"!
NA NA Na , it's no big deal.

Oh sure , an extra 1.00 for a pack of smokes is O K !!!!!!!!!!
You shouldn't smoke, they say, but who is paying taxes on tobacco
products and paying all the health care for the poor !
What will happen when more people quit smoking?
Where will Government get there revenue's ?

Here's your answer !!!!!!!!!!!!!


Iowa puts tax on pumpkins (unless you eat them)
Iowa's new policy taxing pumpkins that will be used as
decorations is squashing growers' spirits.

The Iowa Department of Revenue, often accused of trying to
squeeze blood out of turnips, is now searching for pennies in
pumpkins.A new department policy this year has made
Halloween jack-o'-lanterns subject to the state sales tax,
and many Iowa pumpkin growers are feeling tricked.
Is there room in the patch for both the Great Pumpkin
and the tax man on this Halloween night?"I don't mind
paying taxes, but let's get real here, people," said Bob Kautz,
owner of the Buffalo Pumpkin Patch in Buffalo, Ia.,
about eight miles west of Davenport.

Iowans planning to eat pumpkins can still get an exemption from
the sales tax, if they fill out the "Iowa Sales Tax Exemption Certificate"
form. Pumpkins also are exempt if they are of the specific variety
used to make pies and are advertised that way. Pumpkins
purchased with food stamps also are exempt.

Oh that's good , you have to send in for a refund !!!!!!!!!!!!
