Christmas Trees for Fascists?

Is this anything like Springtime for Hitler?

They backed off due to popular uproar but it does say a lot in and of itself...

You know who supported the tax? The Christmas tree growers who would pay it. Fascism my ass.

It would be passed on. First they would charge the tax to the customer and then they would pay it to the government. Or are you suggesting that the growers pay the tax without selling any trees?

Incredible. But then again, I'm not surprised, given the incredible bullshit Obama has done. This guy has got to go.

Hell, I'd vote for Rick Perry, brain freeze and all, over this clown.
