This is why satire is a dying art form. It can’t compete with reality.

I remember when I was a kid we stopped buying real Christmas trees after my grandfather went out and bought us an artificial tree.

He did this because he had been frightened by Government safety announcements on television warning of the dangers of Christmas tree fires that had killed many children.

WTF????

If we gain the Senate and Presidency and reverse all the Czars and these Christmas Tree Promotion Board and likes we will have reduced the Federal work force by at least one third.

O don’t understand the dynamics here. Did he do something by executive order? Is he just SAYING there is a new tax?

I think he has knowingly and willfully violated the Constitution.

Do people not care because it’s only 15 damn cents or whatever? Or because they don’t even have a job and can’t put food on their table?

In four minutes or so, are we going under martial law?

The headline says Jim DeMint, the article byline (with no in-article reference to DeMint) says Tyler Durden. Which is it?

Now the tree hugger people will need a tax to save the real trees from extinction, and to top it off... if everyone in America buys a live Christmas tree: fire safety will have to be promoted, the artificial tree manufacturers will have to be subsidized, the tax collectors will have more jobs, the land-fills will be inundated with artificial trees, more land will have to be given over to the dumps...why all in all he (the mighty O) will have created many new government jobs and entitlements! Isn’t he amazing... with just one little ole $.15 tax that no one will even notice?

They think that too many trees are cut down for this holiday. They’re just trying to save trees.

Update: The tax has been DELAYED due to public pressure/ridicule. Obama: Antichrist or Muslim? You make the call!
