whereas republicans will simply steal it and give it to someone richer than you could ever dream of being.

Drax: A stop sign isn’t a red light. I’m talking about a STOP SIGN. You get the whatever fee for rolling through it. Most people don’t come to complete stops at stop signs. They usually slow down, sometimes to close to a stop, but not a complete stop. I’d say maybe 5% of the time I witness people driving do they stop at a stop sign unless police are around. I’m one of the very few that always comes to a complete stop. However it’s not the same as a red light. Running a red light is a lot worse and poses a lot more risk than rolling through a stop sign on pershing.

No, it’s false, steve.

And stop sign cameras save lives by making a-holes who run red lights think about it first. If they make a little money on those people, that’s good. It’s a tax on endangering lives, and I think it’s great. Yeah, I’ll tax that.

Yes, taxing shopping carts is absurd – but there are people here who would, in all seriousness, accuse some legislators of wanting to tax shopping carts. And they don’t know it’s absurd.

Actually it’s quite true drax, except two things, there’s nothing dems wouldn’t tax. No matter if those taxes are regressive, it hurts the poor, if they want revenues they’re going to do it. If they don’t approve of something, it’s tax it first, then ban it, becaues I know what’s best for other people and thus my way or the highway. Look at Maryland. Every single day Martin O’Malley is thinking of new things to tax. They even got the gambling they wanted, but that still wont’ be enough. In places like MD and DC where they are so desperate for revenue they even have STOP SIGN CAMERAS now.. Can you believe that?

you’re actually right about one thing: you can’t assume something is a joke; however, the idea of tax shopping carts IS absurd and the visual of a person carrying all their groceries is a joke…its not that hard, even in a written format. From now on, when I want to tell a joke, I’ll preface the comment with “Joke coming”…

Passing a plastic bag tax is so DC and MD. Might as well go flip a SUV while at it.

No, unfortunately, you can’t assume anything around here is a joke, no matter how absurd.

But thanks for letting me know, Hee-Haw.
