I wonder which Senator owns the toy company that makes those arrows?

**LilBro** · 10-02-2008, 05:33 AM

yes, saw it on news... that and a few others will definitely raise eyebrows... i thought this new politics of no more BS was coming... : (

The bottom line is the bill is so important that politicians can squeeze anything that they want into it

Rose City Archery Inc., an Oregon company that makes arrows used by children, hit a bull's-eye with Senate legislation that would rescue Wall Street banks.

Senators attached a provision repealing a 39-cent excise tax on wooden arrows designed for children to an historic $700 billion financial-markets rescue that passed tonight by a vote of 74-25. The provision, originally proposed by Oregon senators Ron Wyden and Gordon Smith, will save manufacturers such as Rose City Archery in Myrtle Point, Oregon, about $200,000 a year.

what the fuck, this is the most ridiculous thing i ever heard

**Rochard** · 10-02-2008, 11:22 AM

What the fuck kind of stupid shit is that?

Jesus, Washington needs a complete overhaul.....

**aico** · 10-02-2008, 11:26 AM

This shit has been going on for years. You're just now getting upset about it? I've said it before and I'll say it again, the problem with this country is not the Gov't, it's the people who live in it and allow it to happen day in day out. Tomorrow this story will be forgotten, just like all the others, and no one will do anything, just like always.

it's not a big deal. read...

Boy Scout Arrows

"The arrows provision seeks to reverse an anomaly in a 2004 law that created the 39 cent excise tax on the weapons. Intended for more expensive arrows, the tax also applies to arrows used by Boy Scouts and other youth organizations that cost about 30 cents a piece. Ten manufacturers in nine U.S. states stand to benefit from the change, according to a description of the legislation from Wyden's office. "
