Here’s a ‘Revenue’ Stream That Needs to be Tapped

Democrats can stop bitching about how TEA Party people and the grassroots don’t want to raise taxes.  I’ve got a tax we not only need, but that we should peg at 40% to start.

Unions.

Unions are full of rich fat cats and that’s becasue they are all rolling in dough.  As a faction they spent over 4.4 tax-free billions on elections from 2005 to 2011.  So I say tax this untapped natural revenue resource like you do any other big business and you shouldn’t get another dime from anyone else until you do.

Note: Ideally new revenue should be used to reduce burdens on towns and local tax payers, but seeing as Democrats will never allow unions to be taxed like any other business perhaps the best we can do is have someone propose it so they have to vote against it and then explain why.
