(Ring - Ring)
(Receptionist) Hello, Welcome to
Obama Flowers, My name is Trina. How can
I help you?
(Customer) Hello, I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number.
(Receptionist) Yes, I am sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November. But I can help you.
(Customer) Thanks, I ordered a "Spring Bouquet" for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife's work.
(Receptionist Interrupting) Sir, "Spring Bouquets" do not meet our minimum standards, I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses.
(Customer) But I have always ordered "Spring Bouquets". I have done it for years, my wife likes them.
(Receptionist) Roses are better, sir, I am sure your wife will love them.
(Customer) Well, how much are they?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package.
(Customer) What's the difference?
(Receptionist) 6, 12, 18 or 24 Red Roses.
(Customer) The Silver package may be okay, how much is it?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, what is your monthly income?
(Customer) What does that have to do with anything?
(Receptionist) I need that to determine your government flower subsidy, then I can determine how much your out of pocket cost will be. But if your income is below our minimums for a subsidy, then I can refer you to our Flower Aid department.
(Customer) Flower Aid?
(Receptionist) Yes, Flowers are a Right, everyone has a right to flowers. So, if you can't afford them, then the government will supply them free of charge.
(Customer) Who said they were a Right?
(Receptionist) Congress passed it, the President signed it and the Supreme Court found it Constitutional.
(Customer) Whoa… I don't remember seeing anything in the Constitution regarding Flowers as a Right.
(Receptionist) It is not really a Right in the Constitution, but Obama Flowers is Constitutional because the Supreme Court ruled it a "Tax". Taxes are Constitutional. But we feel it is a Right.
(Customer) I don't believe this...
(Receptionist) It's the law of the land sir. Now, we anticipated most people would go for the Silver Package, so what is your monthly income sir?
(Customer) Forget it! I think I will forgo the flowers this year.
(Receptionist) In that case sir, I will still need your monthly income.
(Customer) Why?
(Receptionist) To determine what your 'non-participation' cost would be.
(Customer) WHAT???? Your can't charge me for NOT buying flowers!!!
(Receptionist) It's the law of the land, sir, approved by the Supreme Court. It's $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income...
(Customer)interrupting) This is ridiculous, I'll pay the $9.50.
(Receptionist) Sir! It is the $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income, whichever is greater.
(Customer) ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? What a rip-off!!
(Receptionist) Actually sir, it is a good deal. Next year it will be 2%.
(Customer) Look, I'm going to call my Congress member to find out what's going on here. This is ridiculous. I'm not going to pay it.
(Receptionist) Sorry to hear that sir, that's why I had the NSA track this call and obtain the make and model of the cell phone your are using.
(Customer) Why does the NSA need to know what kind of CELL PHONE I AM USING????
(Receptionist) So they get your GPS coordinates, sir.

(Door Bell rings followed
immediately by a loud knock on the door)
(Receptionist) That would be the IRS sir. Thanks for calling Obama Flowers, have a nice day... and God Bless America.

Ordered mine!! Lol
Not far from the truth... sigh
As long as I don't get a refund on my other taxes, I don't have to worry about not paying this tax.
Nothing rosy about this.
MF, I hope they smell better than the Obamacare smells.
Old NFO, sounds pretty close to the truth to me.
Ed, nothing rosy at all. Socialism at its best.
With VoIP phone system & Business Phone Service technology on the fast track, we can create a legitimate argument for not wanting to own rapidly changing equipment. Some phone system vendors can offer true refresh upgrade programs.
