Bah humbug! Americans with a 15-cent Christmas tree tax

Well folks do you believe me now all you Obama supporters who think Obama is just wonderful. Next tax will be a membership tax to your house of worship! This tax Obama just put on you is called  The Jizyah Tax it is the Infidel Tax. Muslims don't pay a pray space tax when they pray on the streets but you have to pay a 15 cent federal tax on a tree. So if your county or your state charges you 6-9 % tack on that 15 cents.

I am running against Barack Hussein Obama the MUSLIM! The MUSLIM who says he's a Committed Christian . Obama is Committed to Islam. Sign the petition below and get me on the ballot. We need to stop this Muslim now! The reason why it is so important for Obama to have a Federal Medical care is that Muslims never pay for Insurance. Muslims consider any insurance plan as gambling. It is against the Muslims religion . So the Infidel picks up the costs which is a Dhimmitude. A Muslim way of controlling the money with the Infidel.  This is America folks! There is no law that states you are to penalize or single out  and tax one religion.

Again I ask you , the American People to sign my petition to get me on the ballot of your state. Help me help you get rid of Barack Hussein Obama and find justice for the American People.

Bah humbug! Scrooge Obama hits Americans with a 15-cent Christmas tree tax

Americans face a 15-cent tax on all fresh Christmas trees to support a new government program to ‘improve the image and marketing of Christmas trees’.
The charge – dubbed the Christmas Tree Tax – was announced by President Barack Obama’s Agriculture Department today.
The fee will apply to all sales of fresh Christmas trees by sellers of more than 500 trees per year – and is likely to be passed onto their customers.

The 15 cent tax will fund a Christmas Tree Promotion Board – ‘to provide maximum benefits to the Christmas tree industry’ – which will be announced by the Secretary of Agriculture in due course.
Gateway Pundit blogger Jim Hoft declared the tax as evidence that ‘Barack Obama hates Christians’.
Meanwhile David Addington complained on The Foundry: ‘Just because the Obama Administration has the legal power to impose its Christmas Tree Tax doesn’t mean it should do so.
‘The economy is barely growing and nine percent of the American people have no jobs.  Is a new tax on Christmas trees the best President Obama can do?’

Yet the tax was actually has actually been in the works since the Bush administration when the National Christmas Tree Association (NCTA) set up a task force recommending a fee in response to declining sales of fresh trees in 2008.
An NCTA official quoted on the Drudge Report said: ‘While the fake tree industry is investing dollars to vigorously promote their product, the Real Tree industry is pulling back and devoting fewer funds to public relations and marketing.

This was the tree selected for the White House Blue Room last year

‘More than 1,000 people donated more than $900,000 for 2004 promotion and marketing programs.
‘By 2007, donations to the market expansion activities had dropped to about $400,000.
‘The erosion of funding resulted in fewer projects aimed at positively impacting consumer attitudes about Real Trees limiting the ability of the industry to affect the sales of Real Trees in the marketplace.
‘Given this continued erosion of the market share of farm-grown Christmas Trees, an industry task force is being formed to study the possibility of a federal marketing order that could establish a nationwide checkoff designed to support expanded promotion, marketing and research projects.’
While the announcement of the tax is not directly an NCTA proposal, the body says it supports the fee and believes it will be beneficial to the industry.
The NCTA has had a hand in supplying the official White House Christmas tree this year after hosting its national annual contest.
A 19-ft tall balsam fir grown on a farm near Wisconsin will be presented to the First Lady Michelle Obama at the end of November.
It was grown by Sue and Tom Schroeder who won the Christmas tree growing championships in August this year.
It’s not know if the Obamas will be paying the 15 cent tax.
