Oregon Congressman Proposes New Space Tourism Tax

Almost as quickly as Jeff Bezos could report Blue Origin is approaching $100 million in ticket sales for seats on future flights, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) announced plans to introduce a new tax on “space tourism,” pointing out that "Space exploration isn't a tax-free holiday for the wealthy. Just as normal Americans pay taxes when they buy airline tickets, billionaires who fly into space to produce nothing of scientific value should do the same, and then some.”

Gee whiz, tax the wealthy for their joyrides up into space? Frankly, I seriously doubt it! In fact, knowing how Republicans operate, they’ll probably manage to somehow figure out a way to turn the entire friggin’ escapade - into a damn “tax credit.”

Now personally, I’m not one really of those folks who strongly oppose the idea that billionaires are shelling out millions of dollars to head up into space. In fact, I’m perfectly fine with it. It’s just their returning back here to earth - that bothers me.

Anyway, who knows? Perhaps this successful flight, along with the nearly $100 million in future Blue Origin ticket sales, will soften Jeff Bezos up enough for him to consider allowing everyone slaving away in his warehouses - to perhaps enjoy an extra bathroom break or two this weekend?
