(Newser) – Romania's witches aren't happy about a change in the country's labor laws that makes witchcraft a recognized profession. The move, part of a crackdown on tax evasion, will make it harder for witches to avoid paying income tax, AP reports. One witch has threatened to cast a spell using black pepper and yeast to create discord in the country's government as revenge.

Witches, astrologers, and driving instructors are now liable for income tax on their earnings in Romania.

This is all an effort to attract Christine O'Donnell to their country. I say we support their efforts.
