President Obama’s Agriculture Department announced that that a new tax should be imposed on Christmas tree sellers to pay for a federal government program to improve the image of Christmas trees and the Christmas tree industry in the United States. It will impose a new 15 cents charge on all fresh Christmas trees.
The money will be used to improve the image and marketing of Christmas trees. Without President Obama’s fresh Christmas tree tax, the industry might start getting smaller til people have artificial trees.
The National Christmas Tree Association said in a argument that the plan "is not expected to have any affect on the price consumers pay for their Christmas tree."
The use of Christmas trees around the world exploded and grew each year until modern times and having Christmas tree during Christmas season is just one of those family traditions people love. Now, should people call it Christmas?
