Taxation Blues

Taxation Blues
From Charley Reese’s Final Column
Retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel

This might be funny if it weren’t so 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 xxx...(donkey?)

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 til
 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 in happened?  Can you spell ‘politicians?’
