Midknight Review -- new and revised: Another tax - this time, revenues raised should be spent on smart pills for the Chief Administrator staffers and /or his staff.

The Heritage people tell us that 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 !!

First, this genius wanted us to air up our tires, thus "eliminating our dependency on Middle East oil." He then moved to pothole repair and weather stripping -- hoping to add thousands of jobs to the economy. Then came his big push for tax free golf cart production and sales (oh, yes, this is very true). That was the forerunner to the Chevy Volt. no doubt. He planned on selling 60,000 of those things, by now. Only 4,000 have been sold and replacement batteries cost $4,500 bucks, each (sorry, you poor types, This car is not for you). He came up with the brilliant idea to save Chrysler. Two years later, it is owned [completely] by the Germany company Fiat, at a loss of 1.4 billion dollars to the taxpayers. He cut back on oil drilling and pushed for wind energy, apparently forgetting that only congress runs on hot air. In the fall of 2009, he sent out thousands of $250 checks, "tax cuts" he called them. On the next April the 15th, we all had to pay taxes on this money. I got confused. Was this a tax cut or was it income? Believe this or not, but there were people in his Administration who considered painting the nation's highways white, along with the millions of roofs in this country - reflecting heat and saving . . . . . . ahhh . . . . . . money. Obama's bud, Al Gore, started a business, years ago, selling young trees to those entities with a large carbon foot print. Pollute today, buy and grow a tree starting tomorrow and, wala, 30 years from now, you have completely countered the pollution created, ahh, today.That was before someone told him that trees produce 33% of the methane gas in this world.

And, now, he is concerned with the marketing image of Christmas trees sales.

Geeeeez.

If only we could capture and sell "stupid," maybe we wouldn't need China any more.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
