And if there are still too many fortune tellers, the next step is the old reliable Excess Prophets Tax.

I figure they should put the Amazing Randi in charge of this, and noone would be permitted to advertise as a psychic without passing the annual test.

Of course that would put all the stimulus promoters, Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, and Krugman et al. out of business too!

"...it's time to weed out tricksters"

What,as opposed to the real psychics?

Perhaps you should have to be cleared by a shrink to be able to waste your money on a fortune teller in the first place! ;-)

Excess Prophets Tax... lol!

No sympathy, however, for the crystal ball gazers who failed to see this coming. Even less, if they voted for Obama.

When I was growing up, the Bunko Squad used to arrest “psychics” for fraud.

Looks like it’s still a good idea.

These fortune tellers, tricksters, psychics and seers are on the business TV shout shows every day and night.....and all day on Saturday radio programs, to boot.

They wear Brooks Brothers suits and colorless nail polish instead of purple capes, plumed turbans and beards.

They make their living providing prophetizing entertainment to the awed, trusting, avaricious masses, but their income comes mainly from their own various media and speechifying gigs rather than from the fruits of their own financial predictions.

If it were otherwise, they'd all be retired and living it up on the Isla del Sol and Martha's Vineyard.

I thought that was the windfall prophets tax.

I always wondered, shouldn’t psychics be calling you, instead of the other way around?

It makes it illegal to say incantations to give good luck without having a license,”

Never stopped Obama.

“Economic Stimulus!”
“Recovery Summer”
“Drink a Slurpee.”
