No it's Not a Tea Party but a Tree Party

A new party is in town, The Tree Party and with it comes the Christmas Tree Tax. A long, long time ago, a Revolution came just after a tea tax was imposed with the outcome relating to "...taxation without representation." To which, if this be true to the cheery time of Christmas, with a "Tree Tax" imposed by executive order from President Obama, it would seem it to be unconstitutional but hey, this is the man that ratifies treaties without the Senate or Congressional order, for that matter!

....going back a few years where Taxation without representation could get one in a real pickle...there was once upon a time when a tea tax was imposed...tea went into the harbor and we know where that story led; Goodbye British hello America. Maybe this is the tree Party as to was their tea party! Hey, it could have been worse; he could have taxed the ornaments too...

What really burns my butt is, if a Boy Scout troop was selling trees for Christmas and they sell 500 or more, they are taxed a revenue of 15 cents per tree. Sold or Not! And too add more disbelief, if they are raising monies let us say for the needy, at 500 trees that is 75 clams a family will not have because we cannot cut spending but we can take monies from the mouths of babes!

SUPPORT THE WIRELESS TAX FAIRNESS ACT

SUPPORT THE WIRELESS TAX FAIRNESS ACT
Say NO to New, Discriminatory State and Local Wireless Taxes & Fees – for 5 Years!

Congress is again working to forge consumer-friendly tax policies that will impact hundreds of millions of wireless consumers just like you. Members of both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate have re-introduced bipartisan and pro-consumer legislation, H.R. 1002 and S. 543, that will provide much-needed wireless tax relief to American wireless users, their families, and their businesses – for five years.

You can help today! Please urge your Representative and your Senators to join their colleagues in co-sponsoring the ‘Wireless Tax Fairness Act.' They can contact Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) to co-sponsor the legislation in the House, H.R. 1002, and contact Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) to co-sponsor the legislation in the Senate, S. 543.

Join the thousands of other MyWireless.org members who have called on their legislators for some tax relief on their cell phone bill. Earlier this year, Congress reintroduced 'The Wireless Tax Fairness Act of 2011,' which calls for freezing all new, discriminatory state and local wireless taxes and fees for a period of five years.

We are fighting to pass this bill and eliminate unfair taxing. You can help by letting your lawmakers know that you support this bill and the need to lower wireless taxes and fees, too.

The average wireless consumer pays more than 16% in taxes and fees, every month! That compares to about 7% that you pay for other goods and services. This just isn't right or fair. That's why we are standing strong and with your help, are opposing new taxes on wireless.

Sincerely,

MyWireless.org
