Driver’s Taxes and Other Money-Grabbing Schemes Throughout History

“Did you know that you need a license in Japan to be a sushi chef? It’s true. In Japan, you need a license to slice raw fish.  You can bet that if the sushi restaurants in the USA were to become so popular that they stood on every street corner, the government would increase taxes on them by requiring a special license to slice fish; and why not? They tax you to go out on the water to catch them!  Throughout the history of man there have been all sorts of ridiculous taxes levied on people by their overlords. The government claims they are doing it for the good of society, but it’s all a money scam.  Here’s a short list of some of my, er, ‘favorite’ taxes through time.”
