Dear OKOM fans:

I am shocked that such a proposed tax is imminent in England and Wales and 
possibly Scotland.  I hope this is a hoax. The UK is taxed enough...I think 
the aggregates taxes in the U.K. are 125% of each pound and apparently headed 
for infinity. 

This reminds me of the cabaret tax that the AFof M fought successfully and 
repealed in 1966. 

This also reminds me of the reason the American colonies fought against 
"taxation without representation" in the Revolutionary War. (I know there 
will be a history expert who will correct me on this...so be it). 

I have been content to sit back and read the messages of this group; but this 
proposed tax infuriates me. I put it in the category of pay toilets...why tax 
something that all humans need to do?  (Namely perform and listen to jazz)? 
What will come next? A sperm tax? 

Musical content: "Please say it isn't so!"  or "Stop the World I want to get 
off!"

Sincerely,
Art Wood
