Curses! Romania's witches forced to pay income tax

CHITILA, Romania (AP � Everyone curses the tax man, but Romanian witches
angry about having to pay up for the first time hurled poisonous
mandrake into the Danube River on Thursday to cast spells on the
president and government.

Romania's newest taxpayers also included fortune tellers � but they
probably should have seen it coming.

.....

But not every witch threatened fire and brimstone.

"This law is very good," said Mihaela Minca, sister of Melissa.
"It means that our magic gifts are recognized and I can open my own
practice."
