1. What has this to do with firearms?

2. Isn't this fairly common? Dealing with water runoff isn't free.

Bongino is awesome. He was at the Franklin County gun rally last Saturday.

Says who? It's free for those of us in non liberal/"free" states.

I said dealing with it isn't free. Neglect is "free" in the sense that it lets someone downstream / in the future pick up the tab. But there's more than one municipality in PA that actually has a management plan (as required by state law) and some charge a fee for that purpose.

They use Google Earth in Philly to estimate the amount of roof runoff in order to tax you on it. Like I told my co worker that lives in Philly, it's time to bail. They use tax payers as doormats and as a source to keep the politicians rolling in dough. They us tax money from roof runoff to ban your guns.

There is a difference between charging a fee, and making someone pay a tax based on something they have absolutely no control over (the weather).

What's next? Tax on sun/sunshine?

[rompus]

I propose a tax on God, he's the one sending the H2O.

That's a Breitbart dramatization. It's not just about rain, it's about how much surface water runs off your property and ultimately into other fresh water supplies. That's a function of how large a property is and how it is designed, it's not totally outside people's control.
