Rep. Earl Blumenaur
(D-OR) didn't get his party's "no middle class tax" memo. His new water infrastructure bill would meet the new spending demands with taxes on bottled beverages -- water and soft drinks (alcohol exempted; he likely has wine-grower constituents), soaps and detergents, toilet paper and water softeners. Sounds like a middle class tax to us. See sections 4171 and 4172 of his bill HR 3202
which has been referred to four House committees, including the tax-writing Ways & Means Committee. Let's hope it's just another PR ploy.
