Ditto, and on potato chips, ice cream, candy bars, pizza etc. Tax everthing. Hey, what the heck, let's pass mandatory pedestrian insurance too with a small fine for not carrying your ID card and a hefty one for failure to have the insurance at all. You never know when you'll slip on the ice or a tree branch will fall on your noggin. Suck it all up. People are already giving half their pay up without a fight. It's like battered wife syndrome. They just keep returning for more.

Daily Horoscope for December 14

Scorpio

Something that's been buried comes to the surface today, triggering a change in your life. This could be quite dramatic and public, or it may happen on an inner level so that you're the only one who's fully aware of what's going on. If this is something that you've been fighting to suppress, it will be painful to have it finally exposed but you must accept that it was inevitable.
