I don't have problems with people chopping down trees, and I fully support sustainable forestry as a rational means of harvesting trees. It just seems like such a complete waste. It's also a fire hazard.
The tax, though, was out of Kafka.

Why are we supporting an industry that does nothing but chop down healthy trees to throw them away?

These are trees that are planted specifically for that purpose... and then replacements are planted.
