Before you oppose tax plan, think of greater good
If the Florida Senate passes the service tax, you will have to pay tax on laughter. You will have to pay tax on a sunny day. You will have to pay tax on having a good time at the beach. You will have to pay tax for every flush. You will have to pay tax on complaining about paying tax. So call your senators today to "Ax the Tax."
