A Tax on Golf, Your thoughts?

Found this on Stracka. A Brilliant Solution to Economic Problems: Tax Golf At first I was abhorred at the thought, but after thinking about it, it might not be a bad idea.  Well, that is if they can better define what the tax would cover.  I know taxes suck, but I don’t think most of…
