    The breathing tax has begun

    This was going to happen sooner or later.

    The biggest international airport in Venezuela is charging a fee for the right to inhale clean air - and social media users are not happy.

    We're used to a seemingly endless range of taxes and surcharges when we fly - passenger taxes, departure taxes, fuel levies. But Maiquetia International Airport in Caracas has taken this a step further - passengers flying out now have to pay 127 bolivars tax (£12; $20) for the air they breathe.

    Not surprising. Obamacare taxes you for the privilege of existing.
    The TSA charges a groping tax.
    I expect the breathing tax will make its way here soon.

      No doubt fucking Obama is behind this, doing a pilot breathing tax program before imposing it on the great people of America. Fucking Obama man.

                  You REALLY got to do some FAR reaching to try and tie Obama to this one... That is just ri·dic·u·lous to bring him into this one.

                    I didn't say it had anything to do with Obama. Learn to read.
                    But you can bet that this will be coming to a local airport near you soon.

                      I'm sure it will give Obama a new idea for taxing us, right now the government is taking in more in taxes than ever before. Yet he still wants 3.7 billion dollars to spend on illegal aliens and still won't send the National Guard to the border! To be a country, you have to have a border, apparently, we don't have a border!
                      Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                      think about that

                                I'm not the one linking a tax story in Venezuela to Obama when there is none.

                                  Technically, the local 21 pct. VAT rate is not much different, if you want to live you actually have to purchase things, so from whatever you purchase, you pay 21 pct. you eat, you dress - you pay 21 pct. If you drive, you pay 50 pct. + out of the retail gas price etc. etc.

                                  However, and not surprisingly, there's more poor than ever, the corporations have the lowest costs ever, the costs of living go steadily up, real estate prices blown out of proportions etc. - it's the reality of today and the money that go to the dumper (local government) won't ever help it, unless some of it gets spent on actual infrastructure investments, which has short term (work) and long term (improving the living environment) effects.

                                  However, I guess one can always pick for himself to live any place and in any way he sees fit, and universally, one that manages to escape the corporate lobotomy always has a decent chance to live a very full life.

                                    How did I link this to Obama? I clearly stated it was in Venezuela.

                                    You are blind if you think this kind of shit is not done on testing grounds for crap eventually coming here. Obamacare is a prime example. You know, they check you out at airports in other countries too these days before you get on a plane. It's not just here. You are so narrow minded it's painful to watch. For once in your life, try to see beyond the garbage you absorb from television.
