At first I thought this to be funny, then I realized the truth of it.
Tax his land, tax his bed, tax the table at which he's feed.
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 beer, then tax his tear.
Tax his car, tax his gas, find other ways to tax his _ss.
Tax all he has,let him know, you won't be done till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers, tax him some more, tax till he's good and sore.
Then Tax his coffin, tax his grave, tax the sod in which he's laid.
Put these words on his tomb, "TAXES DROVE ME TO MY DOOM"
When he's gone, Do not relax, It's time to apply The Inheritance Tax.
COMMENTS: None of these Taxes existed 100 years ago, our nation was the most prosperous in the world. There was 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.
PS: If you haven't done so read "The Incredible Bread Machine".
