Tax on the Sun?

I believe he was arguing against taxes meant to change peoples behavior. Making a point of how ludicrous and wrong it is to have government overstepping what should be a limit to their authority.

If you tax the Sun, & make it angry, it could retaliate with nasty solar flare which
could wipe out much of our electric technology. Don't make it mad. I recommend
a sacrifice to appease old Sol. @BSM1 is a virgin....let's use him!

Everyone knows the Sun is a male heterosexual. The planets are Female, you know mother earth. We need to reclassify Pluto as a planet and then give it to the sun. Of course then we would need a Sun tax to pay for the work involved so it would be self defeating. Just have it run on Fox News and Trump get the ball running.

Should we have a tax on the Sun?

Yes, and to that end, we should send some IRS examiners directly to the Sun to do a tax assessment.

Also, I've heard that the Sun has children, so it might be able to claim a lot of exemptions.

That bill he is talking about was brought about by a Conservative government in Spain, specifically to help fossil fuel industries in Spain because renewable energies is simply crushing them there, and also to pay off debt the government had for paying for industries and such.

"Rajoy is working to rein in a debt owed to utilities that ballooned to €26 billion as successive governments forced power generators to sell electricity to consumers at below the cost of production. Spanish utilities led by Iberdrola and Endesa slumped along with Acciona, which owns more than 4 GW of wind farms in the country."

It's also weird to even equate it to what the US Congressman is talking about. He's suggesting that it would be possible to tax the sunlight every single person is getting from the sun... which is what causes cancer... but there is no way to know that. People don't have meters on their body.

It's weird how he didn't bring up vice taxes though. He could have easily used the example of alcohol or tobacco... oh... wait...

Relax, there is a reason I posted this in the joke section.

Ah, I hate when I click on the thread link from the new pages thread, and it takes to me to the thread but I don't see what subforum it is in because I don't scroll up to look.

Who do I have to sleep with to get out of this otherwise brilliant (see what I did there) scheme?
