Democrats are hitting us again! Taxing toilet paper, cooking oil, toothpaste, cosmetics and other products we dispose in our waste water, was proposed by Oregon’s Democrat Rep. Earl Blumenauer. His tax will be aimed at the manufacturing level. H.R.3203 is called the Water Protection and Reinvestment Act of 2009, but will further burden our economy.
Taxes at any level become a part of corporate expenses increasing corporate profit. His “financed broadly by small fees” will multiply before it reaches you, the consumer. Toilet tax will increase the profits for the companies by increasing prices far beyond that of the original tax. The 3 percent excise tax will ultimately take much more out of our pocketbooks than just 3 percent.
As prices rise, the value of our money declines. Democrats contribute to inflation with every tax implemented. Bigger government, more taxes and regulations become oppression to the worker and the poor. The adage is that “Democrats are for the poor.” It sounds more like the Democrats are for corporations, increasing their profits. Taxes and regulation increase inflation and unemployment rates. Democrats prove they are not for the working family and the poor.
