NOTHING IS UNTAXABLE...

Enterprise rent-a-car commissioned a study by some of the lads at Brookings to determine the damage done to their industry by local rental car taxes...

It was determined that people will go out of their way to avoid
this silly-assed tax, even if it means traveling to a more
distant rental agency . For example, in the St. Louis, MO area
the tax is four bucks per day. People are driving to Kansas to get away from that tax.
Why would they do this??? Because the tax is used to
fund such things a sports stadiums and convention
centers. Thus, those brilliant rectum's running Missouri
are screwing both their locals and their visitors to give breaks
to the fat bastards who own the sports teams!
It appears that this is not uncommon as many states
have the same tax, but in varying amounts.

What a crock o' crap.
