A reader, who happens to be a retired accountant, pointed out that what the DOR is attempting is already prohibited by state law.
He provided a link to the applicable rules, which state: "Dues and fees paid by persons for memberships in clubs that do not entitle the members to use recreational or physical fitness facilities are not subject to tax. Examples of such clubs are sewing clubs, bowling clubs, square dancing clubs, bridge clubs, and gun clubs where the dues or fees entitle the payor to be a member, but do not entitle the payor to use recreational or physical fitness facilities."
"The rules already exclude gun clubs, but not much can be done when the folks at DOR refuse to obey the rules," he said.
I couldn't agree more. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. � Alexis de Tocqueville |
