My god, it isn't even a beer per month per league...It all adds up. 4% here, 2% there, another 4% etc...... When does it end??? Income (state & fed), property, gas, retail, alcohol...... And now an entertainment such as bowling? When does 4% jump to 6, then 8 then 10? Enough is a freaking enough already.--------------------"The last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it."

quote:You don't see fees or taxes on the use of public parks and public school, city-owned fields for baseball/softball/football games, do you?By your logic, those are also "rentals", rentals of the property for the time in which it takes to complete the game. Anybody can walk into a public park and play a game of flag football without having to pay for the time they're using the park.Bowling already has a set fee (whatever the center charges for lines and open play, plus dues and other fees) and shouldn't be taxed when other recreational activities can be enjoyed for free in any public place. This looks to me more like singling bowling out.Your logic is flawed, and the more accurate question is why should every other activity be excluded?quote:WHy shouldn't it be taxed? It is a service or a rental of an area like anything else. Why should bowling be excluded?
