 when will we start taxing pointless ideas  one of the good things about subscribing to the ccrp newsletters is that i get to hear about all kinds of silly laws that are trying to make their way through our legislature so in a recent issue  another crazy liberal ideas was revealed rep geiss d a democrat of course introduced a bill to impose a 1cent per bag on plastic bags used when you make a purchase at retail establishments is there any aspect of our lives that a liberal will not try to regulate i m astounded at the type of people that get elected rep geiss is actually serious about regulating plastic bags really honestly there are people out there that are making a moral issue out of sacks one will one penny on every plastic bag do for anything other than to make rep geiss feel like she has made a difference with the environmental zealot demographic perhaps if we had a bill to tax stupid ideas coming out of the capitol we would actually make some progress on the debt
