Toilet Paper Tax

If liberals want more of something, they use our money to subsidize it — for example, windmills, unions, and poverty. When they want less of something, they tax it. That's why Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer's proposed Water Resources Protection Act taxes toilet paper, which as Cheryl Crone informs us, is deemed hurtful to the planet.
The act imposes a "3% excise tax on items disposed of in wastewater, such as toothpaste, cosmetics, toilet paper and cooking oil [because these] products wind up in the water stream."
Water-based beverages are hit with a 4¢ per container tax, because Blumenauer has figured out where the drinks go after you guzzle them: into flush toilets — despised by progressives as symbols of civilization. Here's what our moonbat rulers will soon have us doing with our waste instead:
