Dear U.S. Government:

Instead of taxing the shit out of us, why don't you sell Girl Scout Cookies as a fundraiser? 


I can see there are some holes in the following, but just go with it:

National Debt: 14 Trillion & Counting.


So, Take the $7 cost...(may need some adjusting to account for production cost/loss-profit Margin)

14 Trillion / by $7 per box= 2 Trillion Boxes that need to be sold to cover debt.

# of people IRS recorded as tax payers in 2007(most data available): 


136 Million.

So, take the minimum of 2 Trillion boxes needed to sell in order to cover debt and / by 136 Million Tax payers = 7.35 boxes each.


After you pay down the National Debt you could fuel your Childhood Obesity program from future proceeds


= Job Security!!!


 You'd be rich. Then you could be like Alaska and pay us to live in your country.


On second thought, why don't you just practice Imminent Domain and take the recipes and naming rights from Girl Scouts of America and force the members of the President's Cabinet to go door to door and actually earn their freaking salaries to pay for this God forsaken Middle Eastern Conflict we're hip deep in? 



Besides, who doesn't like Girl Scout Cookies?

Everybody does.

I bet even our lovely Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would buy a few cases to snack on while abroad.


Not to beat a dead horse, but, you should also make it a requirement that all Illegal Immigrants should have to buy two boxes per child if they'd like to keep receiving health benefits, and four boxes the get a Driver's License (especially in Utah).


Better yet, make all U.N. Countries buy them as well. Instead of the Geneva Convention, you could have a Cookie Convention. (I bet terrorists would be less angry if they had a Somoan Party in their mouths.)
Think about it...It could totally work.
