M & M Tax Act 2019
I have to pay what?
Fourth grade students at Gunston have just been slammed with an M&M tax. It will cost them 2 M&M's if they want paper and pens to color during recess, but 3 more if they want a chair, too. Today, one student opted to stand and color. Computer time will cost as high as 4 of those colorful candies.
When the teacher handed out assignments (AKA Official Documents) earlier today- BAM! 2 more M&M's please! Students were annoyed to learn it would cost them sweetly to pay those darned taxes and to get their work done.
As the days go by there will be more items and activities taxed. Parliament has been rumored to be tax exempt with some saying that they may even keep those delicious little taxes for themselves
