Tax Truth

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 table
At which he's fed .

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 beers,
If he cries, then
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.

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.

What the hell happened? Can you spell "politicians!"

And... I still have to "press 1"
for English.

I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times

Someone put this in the Political forum please

 

[driller]

Someone put this in the Political forum please

Why?

 

[LeoC2]

Why?

It seems to be a complaint about taxes and politicians isn't it? Seems it should be discussed in the political forum... unless I'm totally missing the point of the post?

 

[driller]

IMHO, just being political does not necessarily exile it to the political forum. There is no debate here to make it a "political" post and as such be in the political forum..

I have received the same text several times in an email and immediately recognized it.

I'm confident if the thread were to escalate a debate, I'm sure it would be moderated accordingly.

 

[Trixie]

Requests for moderation consideration should be sent as alerts, not posted in threads.

And I see nothing political here yet.

Humor or Politics?

Humor or Politics?

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.

The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

Very funny.

I enjoyed both of these.

Here's a short one:

"The opposite of Progress is Congress".

 

[KyleH]

haha I bet I am more pro freedom, pro liberty, and anti tax than probably anyone on this site. I am a dirty dirty libertarian.

Having said that, the first post showed no research what so ever. If excise taxes didn't exist 100 years ago, then what was Shay's rebellion over? I am not going to enumerate the inaccuracies, suffice it to say that many of those taxes did exist, or the technology being taxed was not invented/in common use yet. Really the one you should be bothered by is income and "homestead" property taxes.

This:
"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.

What the hell happened? Can you spell "politicians!" "

Is perhaps the least accurate thing I have ever read on this site.

LOL... yeah but you don't have to be accurate in the Glove Box forum.

I'm suprised a well rounded individual such as yourself didn't recognize the source of this as an email that has circled the world several times...

...and as such required no research whatsoever.

 

[KyleH]

It was in a video I saw on the internet a while ago, I cant remember which one though.

I don't mean to come off as a dick but I cant get over that final statement.

To put in perspective for those who missed it flash back to 1907 and:

-Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago - Just plaim not true
-and our nation was the most prosperous in the world - Well...not really.
-We had absolutely no national debt - ahahahaha, wow someone failed economics. National Debt was much lower than it is today (it was about 10% of the GDP.)
-had the largest middle class in the world - ....I don't have proof of this, but considering that some countries at the time did NOT have a huge population of dirt floor poor sharecroppers I will go out on a limb and proclaim this questionable.
-Mom stayed home to raise the kids - Mom did not have a 2nd minivan, a washing machine, a dish washer, a trash compactor, and a maid named Melinda to get another job. On top of that the neighbors would've talked about her.
