As of January 1, witches -- along with astrologers, fortune tellers, valets and models -- are officially named in the classification of professional trades, which means they may eventually have to declare their income and pay taxes on it. The new laws are part of the government's effort to "prevent and combat tax evasion," according to a statement on the government's website. Astrologers predict that taxing such small incomes won't help boost the federal budget. "Astrologers are seen as riddles, like wizards and so on. Most astrologers do things with passion. So, perhaps the government will get more passion than money, because not so many people come to the astrologer," said astrologer Maria Sarbu, in an interview on Romania's Realitatea TV. Many witches are also angry about the new rules. "The people who run this country lead it with their head upside down," witch Bratara Buzea told the network. "Yes, I agree, let them open witches practices for us, to test everyone of us, see what one can do. We do need a pension too, after all." However, she said, "If you give something, you got to get back something. It's not the state who taught us witchcraft. There's no school where you can learn witchcraft." If witches are forced to pay income taxes, Buzea said, they will cast a curse on lawmakers. "It's a little spell made of some dog feces together with a little pinch of soil and black pepper," she said. What worries me is that they are going to put a bad spell on government - but who can tell? :waughh:	SurferJoe46 (51)

Try this on for size; www.youtube.com As for the spells, I think the witches might have better luck throwing the ingredients at aforementioned politicians rather than trying to make a spell with them.	ubergeek85 (131)

Nothing wrong with rugby or cricket or soccer - but the War of 1776 was fought a long time ago to shed the US of all things British - and I think the feeling still exists . As a rule, the sports (let me call them 'Your Sports) aren't bad or boring, it's just the admitting them into the Saturday Night Sports lineup on TV isn't gonna happen until the balance of peoples living here shifts to more 'foreign' and they are the majority (51%+) and they happen to like these sports . Right now the US-sports ethic stands prima-facia ---- and it's NFL football, NL/AL baseball, NBA basketball and NHRA Racing watched from an easy chair with a Coors or a Bud in your hand .

1167894	2011-01-09 07:48:00	Well - if people didn't like it, they wouldn't get the heinously large amounts of money and sponsorships. Sponsors don't get money from the government - they get it from marketing and sales. Yeah - it's sad that they don't pay cops and firemen that kinda money.	SurferJoe46 (51)
