In an effort to combat global warming, Democrats have proposed a new tax on Happy Valentines.
The measure, which is expected to be voted on later this month, would place a tax on all purchases of cards, flowers, and chocolates associated with the celebration of the romantic holiday.
The new tax is intended to raise funds to help combat the effects of global warming, with the proceeds going to fund programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and invest in renewable energy sources.
The proposal has already sparked criticism from Republicans who argue that the tax will hurt small businesses and send the wrong message to consumers.
But Democrats are standing firm on their position, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying, “We cannot ignore the reality of global warming and the need for drastic action. This tax is an important step in the fight against climate change and must be passed.”
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, President Zelenskiy is urging swift action from allies as Russia continues to bombard the eastern front line. He has asked for assistance in providing military aid and supplies to help protect against the advancing Russian forces.
The heightened tensions between Russia and Ukraine have been a source of concern for many, and it appears that the new tax on Happy Valentines may be the Democrats’ way of showing support for the Ukrainian people.
Whether or not the proposed tax will be successful in raising revenue and combating global warming remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: this Valentine’s Day, love will come with a hefty price tag.
