Ten Future Terrible Taxes Terminated
Tea Tax:
In 2012, the passage of the no tax on tea throughout the world causes many to rejoice. A small minority try to insist that the wording is wrong and the new no tax law actually affects all items and businesses that contain the letter T. Granted, this group is only 54 strong, but they do have a MySpace presence.
Taco Bell Tax:
In the future, ala Demolition Man, Taco Bell becomes the one corporation that owns everything. People buy Taco Bell gas, shop at Taco Gap, and consume Taco Bell Tacos. In a move generally not liked by the population at large, Taco Bell decides to institute a hefty Taco Tax. The resolution will be known when Sylvester Stallone regains his movie career.
Ten Pin Tax:
In a future where bowling once again makes a comeback (including a lot of bowling related movies), the powers that be (the bowling alley owners who control everything in smoke filled back rooms, that smell of used shoes…) plot a Ten Pin Tax on bowling. There’s a bowl-a-thon where an animatronic version of Fred Flintstone bowls a perfect game and saves the planet from excessive bowling taxes.
Tax Tax:
In a possible future somewhere a tax on tax appears to slip into legislation somehow. The world congress, being the world congress, is asleep at the wheel and the tax on tax begins to reproduce. That’s right. It soon becomes a tax on tax on tax. And so on. Eventually, Trekkies familiar with Tribble removal are called in with a squad of highly trained accountants. Crisis averted.
Reality Tax:
In an even more flooded by reality television future, some smart Hollywood or Bollywood - no, my fault, it was Gollywood (yes, Google gets into the entertainment business in the future) - anyway, they decide that all reality “shows” should be taxed. A loophole not noticed for 24 hours accidentally taxes all of reality. A kind lady named Chloe saved the day via cellphone in a parking garage.
Moon Tax:
In a secret document not released until 2011, it was learned that Kennedy not only promised to get man to the moon first - he also proposed a moon tax that is still in effect! After unsealing, the world number crunchers crunched their numbers (sponsored by Team Rice Krispies and the impossibly crunchy grapenuts cereal) and came to a startling conclusion. The moon had to be sold due to delinquent back taxes. In a move that startled the world, Iceland and Greenland pitched in and bought the moon, renaming it Moonland.
Tie Tax:
During the great tie revolt of 2010, when men around the world suddenly and collectively refused to continue wearing ties, the Tie Tax Break was instituted, single handedly saving the entire tie making industry around the world. For each tie a man wore he received $5 off his tax bill at the end of the year. As you can imagine, it soon became fashionable to wear more than one tie. Timothy “Tie” Johnson in New York City held the record for many years with his business suit made entirely of ties.
Turtle Tax:
In order to slow a booming economy, some slightly deranged world leader in an uncertain future declared a tax on turtles. Not on turtle owners or turtle sellers, but the turtle’s themselves. This was to be the sole tax for the whole planet for 4 months. Needless to say, the economy slowed down quite a bit. Stupid turtle tax.
Inheritable Tax:
Unlike an inheritance tax from the tax, the inheritable tax was created in a tax happy future to adequately tax citizens for all of their ancestors. It was only pennies for each relative from your past, but with humans going back as far as they did, it became quite expensive.
Invisible Tax:
In a future where the arms race went crazy, an invisible tax robot was created and let loose on the population. If the invisible robot snuck up on you and tagged you with its sticker gun, you had to pay an extra tax of whatever amount was on the sticker.
“Things as certain as death and taxes, can be more firmly believed.” - Daniel Defoe
