Then why do you choose to be taxed 10% by an organization in order for you to get into heaven?

Do you know why Alcohol is so expensive? Because its taxed seven times before it gets to the shelf. Then you are charged sales tax on the bottle when you buy it.

This will create a market for taxes. Trans fats? 12 percent tax on all transactions between trans fat producers and trans fat consumers. Government control of industry through taxation is possible. Scary Scary.
