The Department of Agriculture has announced a new federal tax on Christmas trees that will find the spread of information that will “enhance the image of Christmas trees and the Christmas tree industry in the United States.”
It’s about time. How much longer were we going to let the defamation of Christmas trees go unanswered by our government?
UPDATE: The Obama administration is delaying and revisiting the Christmas tree fee. Extending crony capitalism to Christmas tree growers may have been a stretch too far.
