Mustached Americans Seek Tax Break for Grooming Products

It seems more and more groups are organizing and demanding their fair share of the revenue that the US Gubment is collecting from tax payers. I happen to have facial hair but I'm not a supporter of this idea but I will point out that they are a heck of a lot more organized and focused than the steaming, festering pile of feces that is the OWS.

"As Congress pays lip service to Americans seeking tax reforms, an underrepresented constituency has a hairy proposition -- getting lawmakers to approve a $250 tax refund for mustached Americans.

Members of the American Mustache Institute traipsed up to Capitol Hill Monday -- while lawmakers were out of town for President's Day -- to seek a tax break for men with facial hair, who (AMI-authored studies show) are 38 percent better-looking than the rest of America."

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Facial hair, the traditional way to tell a man from a woman.

I beg to differ... Have you seen any photos and video from the OWS demonstrations? This apparently is an equally opportunity movement.

The "traditional" way, otis, not the definitive way.

I should get a tax break for being near-sighted AND astigmatic AND for having extreme dry eyes. That's the non-TMI stuff.

We could lobby to add mustache care to Obamacare with no co-pays. And free shaving cream for all Americans!

I couldn't believe that article was serious, it should be in the "Onion"

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
