Man Made Global Inundation


Yes, you read it right. Mankind is responsible for yet another natural phenomenon.

Large amounts if particulate matter in the atmosphere, caused by human activity, are causing an abnormally high number of raindrops to form; they then fall to earth in such quantities, that we are in danger of total inundation!

In light of the seriousness of this situation, which could lead to our all being swooshed off the face of our planet, President Boobama has taken swift and decisive action.

Since particles float about in the atmosphere, it's nearly impossible to trace them to their source, and force the producers to snare the little devils before they can do any harm.

Therefore, Boobama has ordained a new tax on property owners, assessed according to the amount of rain that falls on their land and buildings. Each property owner must install a digital rain gauge, which will then be connected to a network and routed to the IRS.

The IRS will establish a database of each taxpayer's land holdings, and calculate total rainfall for each property. The exact tax rate per gallon has not yet been established, but with every new Boobama measure to 'save our economy', it will undoubtedly get higher.

A ray of sunshine: tax credits for those who build swimming pools and other structures that will capture and hold excess rainfall.
