TAX ON EMAILS?



Gordon Wozniak, a Berkeley City Councilman, is suggesting taxing emails in order to save the Post Office.  "There should be something like a bit tax," he said during a March 5th meeting. "I mean, a bit tax could be a cent per gigabit and they would make, probably, billions of dollars a year." And he suggested a "very tiny tax on email." 

COMMENTS:
While Berkeley is the birthplace of modern-day left-wing, progressive thinking, the suggestion is certain to catch fire in the Obama Administration and the Democratic Senate where the words “cut spending” are deemed to be frivolous and words from the devil.  Wozniak is probably one of those government officials who enjoy a huge six-figure income, a free car, a lavish office, a guaranteed pension and manicures… all at taxpayer expense.  How about a tax on audacity?   

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. There are being complaints about the Obamas all taking separate vacations at the taxpayer expense while the country is in financial straits.  Now, there is a backlash by the White House saying that we Americans had better keep the family out of the politics.  What say you?  (Jennifer ~ San Francisco, CA)
A. As long as they are living in MY house and at MY expense, I have a right to say whatever I want about the subject.  If they don’t like it, they can leave. 

Q. I understand O’Reilly made some offensive remark about gay marriage the other night that really ticked off a lot of religious people.  What happened?  (Laura ~ Paradise, AZ)
A. I quit watching O’Reilly a couple of weeks ago due to his totally rude and crude tirade against Alan Colmes, so I have to rely on a report on THE BLAZE. It appears that he remarked something to the effect that opponents of same-sex marriage don’t have a “compelling” argument other than “thumping the Bible.”  So, what he said in essence was, people’s religious beliefs and upbringing don’t matter and have no bearing on how we run our country.  O’Reilly and his ego have lost touch with reality and become a total liability to FOX and deserve the axe.  Maybe he can find a job on MSNBC.     

Q. Hunters are boycotting Colorado over the state’s new radical anti-gun laws.  Do you think other groups will join?  (Marlo ~ Park City, UT)
A. I hope so.  If skiers boycott Aspen, Breckinridge, Vail, Keystone, Steamboat Springs and Telluride, maybe the runs at Park City will benefit.  I’m going quit drinking Coors Beer and I know that will really hurt the Colorado economy.
