Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam


Today, I was letting my 2 year old son ride on the "car/truck/winnie the pooh knock-off honey wagon" outside of the grocercy store. You all know what I am talking about. As I was sitting there I noticed a label attached to the side. It was, I kid you not- A registration tag!! The generick winnie the pooh 25 cent car ride had up to date registration! Registered with who? you may ask? Labeled as Follows:
STATE OF TENNESSEE: Coin Operated Amusement Tax. Lic. # 190368470. Expires...
It would appear that the nickel and dime rides at the grocery store create enough revenue to pass a "coin operated amusement tax." I love Tennessee, but everyone must remember when we vote for politicians who promise the world it comes with a price. Every promise must be funded. Then, we end up with a Coin Operated Amusement Tax.
