"STOCKHOLM, Oct 4 (Reuters) - A group of Swedish parliamentarians proposed on Monday levying a "man tax" to cover the social cost of violence against women. "It must be obvious to all of us that society has a huge problem with male violence against women and that has a cost," Left Party deputy Gudrun Schyman told Swedish radio. "We must have a discussion where men understand they as a group have a responsibility," said Schyman, one of the party members to sign the motion for debate on the new tax. Sweden already has the highest taxes in the European Union as a percentage of gross domestic product to pay for its famous but hard-pushed cradle-to-grave welfare program. It is also one of the world's most advanced nations in terms of gender equality, but Schyman said in a headline-hitting 2002 speech that discrimination in Sweden followed "the same pattern" as in Afghanistan under the Taliban."

But they still have their Volvo's and Saab's!<img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle> Next thing you know they'll tax people who have male children (as part of the cradle-to-grave bit) and male babies will mysteriously cease to exist. Hmmm...maybe this is something the french <spit> should look into!

How about a Blueballs tax for women:
"A tax to alleviate the pain and anguish of all males that have ever suffered a bad case of the blueballs at the hands of a promiscuous female."
