Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 01, 2012

SNERK!!!

Stupid rich people! That could bankrupt Hollywood! The horror!!! Oh wait… come to think of it…

If we could tax stupidity, we’d have budget surpluses far into the future.

Yep, it’s called the lottery and it’s completely constitutional because the stupid people volunteer to pay.

How about having a personal tax increase every time you don’t use a turn signal when legally required to do so.

The tax on tobacco is a tax that stupid people continue to pay.

If we taxed the stupid most of Congress would have to start paying double.

‘Tis true, lottery is oft called the Fools’ Tax; but a simple, straightforward tax on stupidity would be a most deserving variety of “sin tax,” along with the already-existing high taxes on alcohol, tobacco, etc.

Make marijuana & prostitution legal. Erase the national debt in less than a decade.

We are ALL stupid enough to elect them and then they raise taxes on us while paying very little themselves. Too late rat your policy has already been tested and proved over the last 30 to 40 decades.

lol

people don’t read the constitution any more…

That’s already been done, Rat. .!! Look at Obummers voting bloc . .That’s why everyone should vote "NoMoO. . "

The banks are firm believers in taxing the stupid people :)

Rat is busy today. I was pleasantly surprised to see Rat in the The New Adventures of Queen Victoria.

Everybody( and all corporations, churches, clubs, cartoonists, unions, religious owned business, prostitutes, drug dealers, homeless, etc.) should pay a minimum of 1% on gross receipts, wages, donations, tithing, dues, bundles of sticks etc.

I suspect jukeofurl left out a key element of his plan. Make marijuana and prostitution legal – and tax them. If you added pornography to the list, it would raise revenue even more.

Isn’t rat’s plan just called “the lottery”?

Seems like Rat is making sense.

Rat has taken a plank from my presidential platform! I know who I am voting for next week!

Hahahahahaha!

xxx

Vote for Rat 2012! Tax the stupid people! Does anyone remember which day it was that the comic aired that had Little Guard Duck saying, “Go ahead! Make my day…” ?

But… aren’t most all of the stupid already broke? Except for some of the rednecks with reality shows, I think the rest wouldn’t have much of any money to tax in the first place. :-s

I remember a stand-up comedian saying that the debt could be erased if everyone who did something stupid (e.g., jabbing at the elevator button after it’s already been pressed) had to pay a $5 fine.

It’s people like Rat that make me mad.

“Stupid” is a very harsh word.

This is an excellent plan. Except, who gets to decide who is stupid?

Did Rat just call me stupid?

A tax on stoopid wood fix everyting!

A lot of us self-employed people DO add a ‘stupid tax’ or ‘pta fee’ (pain in the @??) when we have difficult, obnoxious, unreasonable or overly demanding customers. If they don’t accept our bid, then we have not lost anything – as my sanity is extremely valuable.

Lottery = a tax on people who can’t count.

Heck, half of all Americans are of below average intelligence, and a good may more aren’t much smarter than that, and too many of them vote. Thus the Republican Party, as it is currently positioned as the party of the easily duped, is assured a near majority at the very least in any national election. And when they get elected, it’s the stupid people that one way or another are taxed, you betcha!

You know, it kind of reflects on a person’s intelligence to call another party stupid just because you don’t agree with it. I’m not a political person, but if I was I don’t know what party I’d belong to. They all seem to have ideas I agree with, and also some that seem wrong to me.

Check out today’s Blondie.Looks like Rat’s got some competition.

Oh, SNAP!

This one is so funny I made it my cover page on Facebook the day it ran…some do not get it, I guess those are the ones Rat is talking about!

You can’t do that, rat.It wouldn’t be right to only tax Democrats.
