Scuba Tax?

[CMAN]

I hear that our dear Gov (Jenny on the block) is going to require a special sticker (TAX) on ALL scuba tanks filled in Michigan to help ease the budget woes! She is pushing it through under the premise of "diver safty". Now you see why I hate liberals!!!!!

Yeah and at just $.02 per cubic foot of air it will get very costly.

Thanks Jenny-Jenny.

Just goes to prove that she wants to "tax the air that we breathe". Now all she needs to do is find a way to do the same for non-divers.

You could show her. A couple of you guys that live near or dive near each other should go in together and buy a compressor.

Of course you pay tax on the gasoline or electricity to run it.

I hope this is another bad April Fool's joke! If not, can you provide a link or more information about where you saw this. I will be happy to start the letter writing campaign against it! A tax on air!!!

Don't laugh. The 2% sales tax on all services that she is trying to help us out with will likely apply to air fills, gear repair, charter trips, etc...

The OP was intented as a joke but I'm afraid that you may be right.

That big tax & spender also wants to double the boat registration fees, double the launch ramp fees, and increase the tax on fuel. Her new taxes/fees on just getting to the water will cost more than a years supply of air. Taxing the air we breathe is the least of our worries.
