Do you remember the last time you walked in the mall, into a public building, or just out on the streets without seeing some guys pants half-way around their ankles? Their brightly striped boxers all bunch up and hanging out, their right hand the only thing holding them from dropping to the floor. THEN you you have to walk up the stairs behind them, and the spot where their pants should be is right in your face? Don't you just want to pull the pants up for them? Take off your belt and say, 'here, merry Christmas.' But you don't, cause your kind. But wouldn't it be nice if you could do something about it?
How about tell them to pay up. No, I'm talking about about robing them, I'm talking about a fine, more like a tax. Money that goes straight into the government, and your pocket, for use in paying off our national debt.
It gets them to pull up their pants, and the economic bind that puts pressure on the American government. It's hard to imagine an American economy without an outstanding national debt. And yes, citizens hate taxes, I for one. We want the debt gone, yes? but we're unwilling to pay for it. So why not let the ones who annoy us pay for it?
An annoyance tax? That's the answer? Think of it more as a pet peeves tax. The things that drive Americans crazy. Think about it-sagging, spitting on the ground, putting gum under the table-there are millions of things that go unsaid to the people that bug us most. And your not alone! Everyone else looks at the same bright stripped boxers and has the urge to pull em up for them.
With support from the government, because they would decrease their debt, it would be easy to enforce. Two hundred bucks for every annoyance. And if a citizen reports somebody, they get 50 of those dollars! The government and the popular support creates an easy solution.
With the public annoyance going down, more dollars in peoples pockets-going back into the economy, and the national debt going down, your America is only a better place. And with the popular consent of a pet peeve, it's not as if you can't sneeze, because congress will veto such a pet peeve tax.
How else are we going to solve the national debt? Taxes on food? That takes money straight our of YOUR pocket.
