Started to post a LOL, but then got to thinking. Only 87% of politicians are lawyers, but 100% of politicians hire lawyers. When you think of it a service tax does not hurt the person it applies to it hurts his customers. No only do politicians hire lawyers, they hire all kinds of other service providers too from physicians to housekeepers. I remember back a long while ago when some California Politicians proposed a law where politicians would not have to pay taxes, there was almost a revolution. Maybe the first and last time in history when the peoples will actually overrided anything politicians did.
