fierra, I would propose another tax but my platform was “NO NEW TAXES!” and I’m afraid that I’ll start to look hypocritical if I add another one.

Sorry.

All right, all right! After much soul searching and in order to bow to the immense public pressure, I will add a new tax. Geesh!

If you use quotes around your own maiden quote, you shall be assessed a GYHOOYAT (or the Get Your Head Out of Your Ass Tax) of 2 dollars.

And if I didn’t make myself clear before, let me clarify that all taxes/fines/assessments are due immediately. If I don’t start seeing some cold, hard cash in my in-box soon, I’m going to have to start assessing penalties and late fees.
