Let's have a first amendment tax. Slowly raise the tax so newspapers like this cannot survive.

Of course, we first have to outlaw any newspaper with more than ten pages. That's an assault paper.

Remember, printing presses are the tools of counterfeiters, child pornographers, and seditionary libelists and traitors. Besides, the First Amendment only protects the free press, like the internet. These criminal printers are just in it for the money, so when you tax them, remember to not only hit the sale price of their filth, but their advertising revenue as well. They use it to buy votes, too, and that.s also against the law.

IIRC, there was already an attempt to tax newspaper (or was it ink?) that was struck down on unConstitutional grounds. Which prompts me to ask; why hasn’t there been a class action lawsuit brought against ammo taxes, sales taxes on firearms (and accessories), reloading equipment taxes, and sundry other infringements?
