Suttle unrolls toilet paper tax

Suttle unrolls toilet paper tax - Omaha.com
"Mayor Jim Suttle went to Washington Tuesday flush with ideas for how federal officials could help cities like Omaha pay for multibillion-dollar sewer projects.
Among the items on his brainstorming list: a proposal for a 10-cent federal tax on every roll of toilet paper you buy.
Based on the four-pack price for Charmin double rolls Tuesday at a midtown Hy-Vee, such a tax would add more than 10 percent to the per-roll price, pushing it over a buck."

So, if I get this democrat right, he wants to subsidize the outrageous pay and benefits of city union employees on the backsides of the poor?

It starts to make sense. Remember, Obama grew up in Indonesia where they don't use TP, they just use their left hand. Hey, Obama is also left-handed! How convenient! Anyway, perhaps there are many Democrats who don't use TP, and that's why they came up with this idea.
