So they have figured out how to tax one orifice. Pretty soon they will tax the other. Call it the O2 tax, or the CO2 tax, whatever. Maybe they’ll tax you twice, once for inhaling O2, and exhaling CO2.
...and the frog’s water gets a bit warmer but he doesn’t mind...at least not enough to actually do something about it.
One day, not too far away, Americans will say; “enough”.
Then there will be unintended consequences.
hopefully
But until that day, the frogs who actually complain will be labeled as “nuts” and “kooks” and all the other frogs will be silent for fear of being labeled in the same manner as the water continues to heat up.
