Pumps' Perplexities

I thought that it would be tough to come up with a topic on a
quiet Saturday, until......

There is some idiot in the State of Maine that wants to place
a 4 cent per gallon tax on bottled water.....Hold on a minute....
We pay for it to come into our homes, then we pay for it
when we flush, (even a septic tank has to be cleaned)...
Now he wants you to pay to drink it....

For some strange reason, this jerk, considers the tax
applicable because it is a "natural resource".....As, in "oil"
and "coal"....What will be the next "natural resource" to be
taxed?....AIR.....

If the State of Maine wants to raise/save money, they should
do what Nebraska has done.....Only have "one house"
of state government...No Senate and House (or whatever)
just the House....There would be a savings to the State
if this idiot was not on the State's payroll and no need for
a tax on bottled water....Pumps
