Eurostupidity-the ticket tax.

This little scheme ccoked up by those financial geniuses in Eutopia shows that there really is no limit to Franco-German greed and stupidity. Having taxed their own economies into the dirt, they've now cooked up an idea to tax everybody and give the money to "the poor". Are they going to give up some of their farm subsidies? Mais non! It's a tax on airline tickets, just a "few pence" mind you, with the proceeds distributed by...by whom? Some new and enormous Eurocracy headed by an unemployed French bureaucrat no doubt. The UN floated this idea this back in the 80's to fund itself and was told to piss off by the United States.

I'll wager that Nanny thinks this is a great idea. You heard it here first.
