"While witches enjoy popular support in Romania..."

"... many in the government view them as swindlers whose presence makes their country seem superstitious and backwards.... It seems that tensions will diffuse when witches feel respected by their government and Romania feels respected by the West."

As El Rushbo would say, "Symbolism over substance".

Every guy knows all women are witches - one way or another.

Hey what's the big deal. I mean we had one as Speaker and now we have one as Secretary of State. It's no biggie.

These are business professionals who usually do fortune telling and love spells, and also put curses on enemies. The successful practitioners draw a good repeat business because when what they do works, then a fear of them elevates that Witch's status. A popular version of witchcraft praciced today is called Kabbalah.

Assuming many will want to contest the tax, I assume there will be a huge demand for ducks in Romania

Sure. Good luck with that one. I've even got an idea for your getting-to-know-you slogan:

She's A Lot Like You (The Dangerous Type)
