South Korea Calls for Unity Tax as North Stomps Tiny Feet About Drills
2010-08-16
Some liberties were taken while whittling this down:
South Korean President Lee Myung Bak called for a special tax to cover the costs of eventual Korean unification as North Korea was having its usual tantrum about a U.S.-South Korea military drill.
M@L.

Seems this might be a good idea. As long as nobody can get their hands on it like they did here with SS.

#1  Doh! Looks like the highlighting tags took some liberties, too! This part shouldn't be highlighted:

South Korean President Lee Myung Bak called for a special tax to cover the costs of eventual Korean unification as North Korea was having its usual tantrum about a U.S.-South Korea military drill.
