A 4,000 year old tax in China is being exterminated according to this article. Now if we could just get our telecommunications tax cut that was designed to pay for the Spanish-American War...
This is the trouble with government, it never knows when to stop something. It amazes me how "temporarty measures" morph into permancy. For instance, the withholding of the income tax from paychecks did not begin until 1942 and was sold to the public as a temporary idea to fund WWII. When the war was over, the withholding would cease and the process would return to individuals paying thier income tax in one lump sum annually. WWII has been over for 60 years now...withholding is still with us. Hmmmm...why could that be?
