Imagine if you will, a pizza place. This restaurant insists on making the very best pizzas, using a very expensive process. 7 times a year, the store opens its doors to hordes of customers overjoyed to buy one of the legendary pizzas. Thousands of folks have had pizzas on backorder for years.

Now the pizzaria must give its cooks a raise to stay competitive in national bake-offs. So, insanely, they decide to steal money from (levy a tax on) everyone in the county, especially the poor. They argue: "We're so valuable to the community, you owe it to us".

Obviously this pizzaria is using the Packers' despicable political playbook. Why such a great team would stoop to such lows is beyond me. Any sensible businessman would recognize the huge demand for tickets and (start ital)raise prices!(end ital) Vote no on the Packer tax. Let them run their business like a business, not like a priviledged class demanding tribute from the peasants.
