Store owners would keep 5 cents of the bag fee to cover costs. Smaller businesses that gross less than $1 million a year would keep the entire 20-cent fee. It would not apply to the smaller plastic bags such as those available in produce sections.

So the other 15 cents goes to the government. After that, who knows where it goes?

I just can't wait till they start taxing us for "sidewalk use". Next we'll have to pay a "birthday tax". One dollar for every year you've been here to plunder mother earth.

This is nuts, folks. Where will it end?

We can't say that it ends with death anymore, because they are taxing that.
