I propose a Pohlad Tax. Pohlad has over $2 billion. We tax him 1 billion (1,000,000,000) and spread it equally among 1 million (1,000,000) households. That's $1000 for each family. Think of what a boon that would be to the Twin Cities'economy!
Just as he wouldn't have us vote a stadium tax, we wouldn't have him vote on a Pohlad Tax. We just tell him we're taking it, and if he doesn't like it we send in the sheriff and cops to arrest him for non-payment. Remember: Carl doesn't need it and YOU DO! When that's gone, we convert the Dome into cash by selling it to the highest bidder, and distribute that too. We paid for it; time we got our money back. After that we drill for gold in Pohlad's bank vault. --David Shove > > > NO STADIUM TAX WITHOUT A VOTE. > > Much more at my web site > > I say no stadium tax PERIOD. REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
