Be sure to read all the way to the end!
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries, then
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ...

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.

Put these words
upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me
to my doom..."

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

COMMENTS: Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in
the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened?
And I still have to "press 1" for English

What Happened??

Greedy politicians (republicans and democrats alike) that feel no responsibility to anyone but themselves to get re-elected and a welfare nation that depends on and votes for those politicians.

Katrina is a perfect example. Do you think the govt. would have been responsible for rebuilding New Orleans and providing for the victims 100 years ago. The answer is a definitive no. The govt. would not have had to step in. People would have stepped in and helped those in need. Businesses would have been loaned money, that had to be paid back, to rebuild. We are a compassionate and charitible nation of people but generally more charitible to those trying to help themselves. Charity comes from the heart not the barrell of a gun held by the government.

Yep! That's it exactly. The same ones who ruined the Social Security system, and pretty much everything else.
