"“The economy is barely growing and nine percent of the American people have no jobs. Is a new tax on Christmas trees the best President Obama can do? And, by the way, the American Christmas tree has a great image that doesn’t need any help from the government.”"
GEE there's that ECHO again.
"The National Christmas Tree Association says the fee would fund a program “designed to benefit the industry and will be funded by the growers” and is “not expected to have any impact on the final price consumers pay for their Christmas tree.” "
I will continue to dispute this. The NCTA is most likely a paid organization. The only way they increase profits is to charge more. They like many organizations have membership based on a company's gross income. You advertise more you sell more. NCTA makes more money.
