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.
Thank you Kitty!
I say; "Flat Tax"!
Or is this a song from the Beatles?

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!
