Tax This

This might be funny if it weren't so darned true.

Be sure to read all the way to the end:

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 ass.

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..

And don't forget...

The Nattering One muses... The above reminds me of George Harrison & The Beatles - The Taxman, off the Revolver album.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world.

We had no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, a mans wages brought in enough money to support his family and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the hell happened? Can you spell 'politicians?' Can you say elite ruling class? Can you say government by the corporations and for the rich?

Can you say legalized debt slavery? Can you say rich bankers and corrupt Wall Street influence peddlers?

Can you say little tax blackholes known as the military-industrial complex, the nanny state, the war on drugs, corporate welfare...

and the US as world police... AKA military adventurism or government wars and boondoggles.

Actually, if you're male, in the dominant group, and middle-class or richer, things are always better in any year, than if you're not!

Damn those changes that keep coming, such as imigrants, gays, equality under the law, and people standing up for their rights!

Are you American's or a herd of red, white and blue sheep? Whats that I hear, blah-blah? or bah - bah?
