Are you feeling taxed over taxes?

A poem about taxes

Tax his land,

Tax his bed,

Tax the table

At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,

Tax his mule,

Teach him taxes

Are the rule.

Tax his work,

Tax his pay,

He works for peanuts Anyway!

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

Tax his tears.

Tax his car,

Tax his gas,

Find other ways

To tax his a__.

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.

If this isn't enough, there's more...

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

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.

    We had no National Debt 9 years ago. If my history serves me a republican came into office and changed all that. 100 years ago these things did not exist. 100 years ago it was 1908 and Taft was President. Well remembered for his 4 years. I am trying to think of the term that would be used if the US had maintained ownership of all this infrastructure and owned the sole share of an industry. Darn - what is the opposite of free trade and capitalism. In 1907 there was an event called the Panic of 1907, also known as the 1907 Bankers' Panic. Sound familiar? My opinion is when you read propaganda like this use that spark to read the history and seek facts. Why was this worth posting? In my opinion posting and emails like this help to spread ignorance.

    true but we didnt have as much baby boomers 100 years ago and a debt or many more doctors claim need social security..we have to pay somewhere...i think we should just close the loop holes the rich have especially the ones in hollywood...there is 1 cure for all this and that is indeed socialism

    EDIT:i dont know if u or the guy under me actually wrote these poems but they are good!

    Well as I agree, I also know that this is nothing new, when the Jews complained about the taxes Jesus simply said, render unto Caesars what is his.

    Let me tell you how it will be;

    There's one for you, nineteen for me.

    'Cause I'm the taxman,

    Yeah, I'm the taxman.

    Should five per cent appear too small,

    Be thankful I don't take it all.

    'Cause I'm the taxman,

    Yeah, I'm the taxman.

    if you drive a car - I'll tax the street;

    if you try to sit - I'll tax your seat;

    if you get too cold, cold - I'll tax the heat;

    if you take a walk, walk- I'll tax your feet.

    Taxman!

    'Cause I'm the taxman,

    Yeah, I'm the taxman.

    Now my advice for those who die,

    Declare the pennies on your eyes.

    'Cause I'm the taxman,

    Yeah, I'm the taxman.

    And you're working for no one but me.

    Taxman!
