[Homer finds out about the new tax to pay for fixing the town’s bear problem] Homer: Woo-hoo! A perfect day. Zero bears and one big fat hairy paycheck. [opens it up] Hey! How come my pay is so low? … Bear patrol tax! This is an outrage! It’s the biggest tax increase in history! Lisa: Actually, Dad, it’s the smallest tax increase in history. Homer: Let the bears pay the bear tax. I pay the Homer tax. Lisa: That’s the home-owner tax. Homer: Well, anyway, I’m still outraged. [Later, a mob marches on the Mayor’s office shouting “Down with taxes!”] Mayor Quimby: Are those morons getting dumber or just louder? Assistant: [checks his clipboard] Dumber, sir. They won’t give up the bear patrol, but they won’t pay taxes for it either. Quimby: Ducking this issue calls for real leadership. [at the podium] Mayor Quimby: People, your taxes are too high because of illegal immigrants![…] Moe: Immigants! [sic] I knew it was them! Even when it was the bears, I knew it was them.
