The Tax Poem
At first I thought this was funny...
then I realized the awful truth of it.Be sure to read all the way to the end.Tax his land,Tax his bed,Tax the tableAt which he's fed.Tax his tractor,Tax his mule,Teach him taxesAre 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 heTries to think.Tax his cigars,Tax his beers,If he criesTax his tears.Tax his car,Tax his gas,Find other waysTo tax his ass.Tax all he hasThen let him knowThat you won't be doneTill he has no dough.When he screams and hollers;Then tax him some more,Tax him tillHe's good and sore.Then tax his coffin,Tax his grave,Tax the sod inWhich he's laid.Put these wordsUpon his tomb,'Taxes drove meto my doom...'When he's gone,Do not relax,Its time to applyThe inheritance tax.Accounts Receivable TaxBuilding Permit TaxCDL license TaxCigarette TaxCorporate Income TaxDog License TaxExcise TaxesFederal Income TaxFederal Unemployment TaxFishing License TaxFood License TaxFuel Permit TaxGasoline TaxesGross Receipts TaxHunting License TaxInheritance TaxInventory TaxIRS Interest Charges IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax)Liquor TaxLuxury TaxesMarriage License TaxMedicare TaxPersonal Property TaxProperty TaxReal Estate TaxService Charge TaxSocial Security TaxRoad Usage TaxSales TaxRecreational Vehicle TaxSchool TaxState Income TaxState Unemployment TaxTelephone Federal Excise TaxTelephone Federal Universal Service FeeTaxTelephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge TaxesTelephone Minimum Usage Surcharge TaxTelephone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges TaxTelephone State and Local TaxTelephone Usage Charge TaxUtility TaxesVehicle License Registration TaxVehicle Sales TaxWatercraft Registration TaxWell Permit TaxWorkers Compensation TaxSTILL 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 middleclassin the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.What happened? Can you spell 'politicians' ?I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times!!!YOU can help it get there!!!GO AHEAD - - - BE AN AMERICAN
