A Christmas Tree Tax (Brilliant)

You read that right, we now have a Christmas Tree Tax. Seems there is a Live Christmas Tree Lobby who convinced our most illustrious government officials to create a Christmas Tree Tax. Seems there were too many of us buying (gasp, the horror of it all) fake Christmas trees which was interfering with the profits of the Live Christmas Tree merchants. So they lobbied our politicians (meaning they donated to those same politicians re-election coffers) to pass a tax on Live Christmas Trees and create a government agency with the proceeds, who would then promote the purchase of Live Christmas Trees over fake trees. There is a National Christmas Tree Association who had reported we Americans spend more than a BILLION dollars on Christmas Trees. So now we have a brand new government agency employing thousands of government workers who will get huge salaries and benefits the rest of us will never see to support Live Christmas Tree Growers over those dastardly FAKE Christmas tree purveyors (most of which are probably made in China) which we (the tax payer public) are forced to support without our input, knowledge or approvals. And we wonder why we are 20 Trillion in debt and why this government is totally out of control.
