Wow, this guy is really getting into a complex tissue, err, issue.

Will the tax apply to all rolls? What about the double ply sheets? Same tax rate? Or how 'bout the Quilted Northern fluffy double rolls? It not fair that the single ply rolls have to pay the same amount as the double ply, fluffy rolls. It's discriminating. It's pitting the haves vs. the have nots.

Also, think about the industrial size fat cat rolls purchased by businesses. Are we going to allow them to only pay 2 cents while they consume the most paper? I bet they have some lobbying group that's gonna get them to pay even less. Meanwhile, their greedy practices are going to push the small, ply poor rolls out of a job.

I don't like the sound of this one bit....
