Legislators “bible thump” the tax code, saying that taxes are too high. Some of the Jedis are musicians, some are tax payers. Everyone is dancing, CTL, bankers and Jedis and take a turn going under the tax bar. But when a CTA/Banker approaches the bar, Darth Vader and the CTL lift the bar let them by and when a Jedi-99% tries to go through, they keep the bar chest high so they can’t get by. </span><br>

The tax codes great,! It’s the Ship of State!”a</span><br>

At a certain moment the Tax Code Thumping Legislators stop the music and announce tax code reform that means musicians will be taxed for performing in a public place. A battle ensues with the Tax Code Thumping Legislators throwing books at the Jedi’s, and the Jedis fighting back. The Jedis win by knocking Darth Vader down and wrapping him in the blue tarp. </span><br>
