Witches in Romania win first round in tax fight

Lawmakers in the ruling Democratic Liberal Party of Romania drafted a law that would require witches and fortune tellers to produce receipts for their income.

Not only that, they would be held liable for wrong predictions. This is a measure by the government to increase revenue.

Romania's Senate, however, voted down the proposal. It appears the lawmakers were frightened of being cursed by the witches and fortune tellers.

The report suggests the lawmakers were afraid of being turned into toads.
