| - "I own six government monkeys! I love sales tacks." - Bruce Wayne Sales Tax is primarily a method for revenue collection for greasy teenagers at fast food joints. It is also used by hired thugs and trained monkeys the local governments keep in cages until "tacks season," at which point they enter homes and steal money and anything they find with an original price tag. During this time, department stores hire hundreds of Hessians (drunken mercenaries, armed to the teeth) and tell them to shoot government monkeys on sight, fearing accidental intrusions. Sales tax is doubled on Tax Day, exactly six months after Tacks season, and the monkeys are given free reign for eight hours and locked up again. Iowa, Wisconsin, and China refuse to participate in the sales tacks ritual and are under heavy sanction from the Antarctic Union, whose primary export is government monkeys. Sales tacks manuals are written in Latin and Greek, mainly to confuse the local population. In Greece, rumor has it that sales tacks law code is written in Chinese so it stays confusing. In most countries, tourists, politicians, and monkeys are exempt from sales tacks, which, according to official law, has a lot to do with the pointy end. While Iron Man goes on a bicentennial government monkey hunt with the original Terminator, now Governor of California, sales tacks still exist because of their incredible rate of reproduction. Several small tribes of American Indians make their living off of sales tacks, souvenirs, and cigarettes, and on occasion gather outside the University of Illinois and Florida Seminoles games to protest sales tacks hunts. Sales tacks relies mainly on the principle of Pyramid Taxation, which originated in Ancient Egypt, not to be confused with taxation without representation (propaganda used by the fountain fathers of the Ungrateful Stumps of Antarctica). Pyramid taxation was originally used to pay for ziggurats, but now exists so reigning monarchs can stick persons and corporations multiple times (see income tax, social security). As sales tacks are mysterious beings, more information on them is greatly appreciated by rebellious philanthropic playboy superheroes-in-disguise, the Govenator, and any citizens that know Greek.

- HARRISBURG -- State Senate Republicans and Democrats expect Gov. Ed Rendell to call for a 1 percentage point increase in the current 6 percent state sales tax when he unveils his 2007-08 budget proposal on Tuesday. The sales tax in Allegheny and Philadelphia counties, which is already at 7 percent, would go to 8 percent. Sen. Gibson Armstrong, R-Lancaster, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said today Mr. Rendell told him about a week ago that he wanted to increase the sales tax as a way to generate additional funds for property tax relief and deal with other rising budget costs, such as medical assistance for the poor. An official on the Senate Democratic side, who asked not to be named, said he has heard the same thing. "I think a sales tax increase will be an extremely difficult for people on both sides of the aisle, Mr. Armstrong said. "How do you convince the newer legislators to put up a vote for an increase in the sales tax?' Many of the 55 new members of the House and Senate made a no-tax-increase pledge during their campaigns. State Rep. David Levdansky, R-Forward, chairman of the House Finance Committee, said he hadn't heard about the proposed sales tax increase but he said that significant additional funds will certainly have to be raised from some source for 2007-08. "This is going to be an extraordinarily difficult budget year, he said, with an additional $1.7 billion needed just for rising medical assistance costs for the poor. Also, he said, it doesn't look like the current 2006-07 budget will produce much of a surplus, in contrast to significant surpluses in the last two years. An increase of 1 percentage point in the sales tax rate, if approved, would generate an additional $1.4 billion for the state, starting July 1.
