OH COME ON! Democrats Want To TAX Your Lawn!?

If it exists, you can rest assured that Democrats want to tax it.

Don’t think I’m serious? Well let’s look at the state of Illinois, which is looking to tax “landscaping services.” Have the little neighbor boy mow your lawn and pull weeds? The government is going to be there with their hands out, expecting “their cut.”

I’ll just be there waiting to see if government can come up with a way to tax breathing.

My normal rate for a 60 x 100 house lot was $1.75, and trimming was done on hands and knees with manual squeeze shears! I was rich after a summer of that! My biggest corner lawn was a double lot for $4.00. 18" Jacobsen push mower, yearly overhauls...

Those were the days!

Gas was a quarter a gallon.

This will never happen because ultimately the Democrats would be hurting Hispanics, who are a major Democratic Party voting block, whether they be legal or illegal.

Not that it would break me at my age, but if they were to go after prostitution will it be honor system or drones watching? You know they would want part of the action (no pun).
