What Do You Think When The Government Says They Need To Raise Your Taxes?
Something to Consider………..
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 h e 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.

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 middleclass in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the h_ _ _ happened? Can you spell ‘politicians?’

It’s a Greek tragedy.

Good one mate that is for sure. Can I add the miners tax that started it all for Victorians so long ago on the Eureka Gold Fields of Ballarat here in Victoria. Long live the Southern Cross flag.

If I’m conservative, I think,”Your job performance doesn’t merit a raise.”
If I’m liberal, I think, “They’re not talking about MY taxes, they’re talking about the rich people.”

Exceptional! Yes, I can spell “politician” and I can also spell “corruption.” …and they talk about corp. greed.

lol typical Clinton politics…I remember Old Bill being quoted one time as saying ‘I’ll tax anything that moves”.
sheesh

There isn’t much left to tax. Now all they can do is take a bigger percentage of taxes. Before long there will be more people working for the government, than taxpayers.
December 24th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Very uncomfortable and eventually less rich.

I hate socialists. That list makes me want to puke. With Obama in office, that list will get even longer.

Bravo! Well said. Time for a tea party don’t you think?

Either a Flat Tax or The Fair Tax. We need to start writing our so called reps.
December 25th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
I love the license taxes – another example of a tax on a tax.
Nice list.
December 25th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
I think it is about keeping the poor man working and the working man poor. Dog gone it with all that work,I need a nap
December 25th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
I say they are full of S***. but we all know that already. so I say lets fire them all.
December 25th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
seriously you said it all so why ask the question send this in to a senator!!!
December 26th, 2009 at 3:25 am
i think..why not fair tax?
December 26th, 2009 at 6:58 am
UGH! Not again. Apparently we’re all supposed to be dirt poor and living on the street. They tax you to death–and beyond!
December 26th, 2009 at 8:36 am
Cute doggrel.
At the risk of may thumbs down (which don’t affect me in any way, anyway), I would point out that several of those taxes did exist 100 years ago, many of the things taxed today on the list didn’t exist 100 years ago, and America had not as much influence 100 years ago, either economically or militarily, than it does now.
100 years ago, you could expect to live 47 years, there were 8000 cars, almost no telephone (or bathtubs), and the average wage was 22 cents an hour. Wonderful time.

Have you seen the new taxes proposed today in NY? Soda, music downloads among many others. What a joke. An obesity tax is what they call it. Perfect time to take more of a person’s income. During a recession fueled by reduced consumer spending. What’s wrong with this picture?
December 26th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
It will only get worse with a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress. Those Democrats love to creat taxes. Look back through history and see who created most of these taxes, the majority were brought about by a Democratic congress.
You know, I wouldn’t be to upset by paying these taxes if we had more say in how it is spent. The Government is the most wasteful institution there is.

I don’t see taxes for town water.
You must be happy that you don’ have any taxes on air that you breath
Here I have one free and signed by a King of France Charles 10
1834 right for craftwater my house is a mill!Our last king fill the form free the socialist-democraty would have bleed me for this right!
It seem that now thehave more taxes than during kingdom….
Smile Obama will add more taxes on tea than England.
Sure in any case they will have to find the according ammount of money to fill the hole balance and if they have no imagination they may ask here they are xpert on indirect charges on gas on purchase taxes most part of time 20.6% except on food 5.5%
By smiling we escape a few the impact being so charged sure if we look only the ratio percent they take more than kings.
If charged more than 50% you will be classed into a socialist
country.but you will have to call any official “Monseigneur”gave
Monsieur and Sieur noble and sure you shorten a few the word for SIR .be happy you don’t have to bow your back!

Great poem. I’ve seen it before. Can’t see/hear it enuf. I emailed a copy to my rep & senators. No response.
To answer your question: I always ask “what for?” If I have a shortage of funds I can’t go to my neighbors & take money from them. I have to cut back.
Thats what gov’t should do.
December 27th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
There will probably be a tax on a tax on the tax come January 21st.
And if we criticize the government in any way they’ll install a law like Russia is trying to pass, where if you criticize the government, you can go th jail for up to 20 years. In Russia it’ll be ‘back to the Stalin days’.
Welcome to the U.S.S.A. and when our leader passes we must say, ‘Sieg Heil!
December 27th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
You have emphatically got it right, and the worst thing is that no one has yet said, ‘Taxation without representation!’ Although, if you have paid any attention to your congressmen, you will have noticed that the only response you get from them if you bother to write your opinions, is a soothing form letter that basically says no more than, ‘thanks for sharing,’ but gives no hint that they are going to do anything but what they were already meaning to do.
Try it, and you’ll see that I’m right. Then, let’s all consider another Boston Tea Party at the polls, whenever and wherever they happen. Not to elect some other career politician, but some regular guy who can still think abouut doing a job instead of just feathering his nest.

BHO< is just a foot in the door. Just like those salesmen we hate to deal with. They say… oh, we’ll save you so much money, but in the end, you’re in debt way over your head, and living a happy lie, while the crooks are spreading your wealth around… or more like, your future. It’s getting worst. We’ll be slapped from every direction, by the time they’re dome with us, we’ll be so numb, we’ll dance to their music. So much for the land of opportunity! Hussein in in the house!

Cute poem.
But welcome to the 20th (21st) century!!!
The world has changed a bit since the 1700s in case you haven’t noticed. They didn’t have to support Nasa or worry about nuclear proliferation did they?
Our government is broke. Bush was too much of a coward to ask brainwashed Rush LImbaugh fans to pay their bills so instead he went and begged for money from Red China, Radical Islam and Russia!!!

You’re talking about 1908–100 years ago? I assume you’re referring to the Robber Barons and a period of extreme poverty for most and excessive wealth of others.
That was a period of response to the excesses of 19th-century capitalism and political corruption, a reform movement arose called “progressivism.” Almost all the notable figures of the period were connected, at least in part, with the reform movement. The goals of the Progressives were greater democracy and social justice, honest government, more effective regulation of business and a revived commitment to public service. In general, they believed that expanding the scope of government would ensure the progress of U.S. society and the welfare of its citizens.
It was also a period with unrestricted immigration. And corruption. This wasn’t that long after Tammany in NYC.
You’re also talking about the period of the “British Imperial Century” and they had some nice little monetary holdings over there.
So, sweetheart, it wasn’t as grand as you think.
