The Obama administration is proposing a new tax on Christmas trees to fund a board promoting the holiday trees. <br />
<br />
Do we really need to fund a &ldquo;Government Board&rdquo; to promote &ldquo;Holiday Trees&rdquo;? Maybe we could get him to define whether a Christmas tree is <br />
a Christmas tree or a holiday tree -- but maybe the board can figure that out.<br />
<br />
Supposedly&nbsp; &ldquo;a group of producers and importers&rdquo; suggested that he form the board. Do you think there is any chance that maybe these people could be Obama campaign fund donors?<br />
<br />
People will buy what they want based on the free market system. Maybe we need a &ldquo;Holiday Tree&rdquo; stimulus program where everyone gets $25.00 for their artificial tree if they buy a real tree.<br />
<br />
Obama needs to concentrate on jobs and the economy not inane and frivolous taxes to pay for governmental boards.<br />
