#11 "As part of a number of revenue solutions we are contemplating, we are asking those dining out to chip in an additional 25 cents for every $100 restaurant tab,"

#13 How about a "Hair" tax. Agents could go around measuring the length of your hair and taxing it per each 1/16 of an inch. Let's hear it for bald women.

#14 Yes! And the proceeds of this Hair Tax could be put into a sacred, untouchable ~~trust fund~~ locksbox and used to repair the ongoing fallout from slavery and other misdeeds of the wicked wig-wearing founders, under a program called... um... um... "Government Redistribution of Weavery."
