North Carolina Association of Educators propose sin taxes – smokin’, money makin’, and drinkin’.

1. Deutscher Tabakgegnerverein zum Schutze der Nichtraucher: A $1 per pack tax increase on cigarettes.

2. Protestant Ethic: Oregon-style tax increase on people that make too much money.

3. The Gordon Gekko: Oregon-style tax increase on corporations that make too much money.

4. Temperance: Additional 5 cent tax on a can of beer and an additional 10 cent tax on a bottle of wine or liquor.

How silly can you get?
