    Subject: TRUTH!!!



    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,
    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.

    Accounts Receivable Tax
    Building Permit Tax
    CDL license Tax
    Cigarette Tax
    Corporate Income Tax

    Gasoline Tax ( 60 cents per gallon)
    Gross Receipts 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 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!!!!! YOU can
    help it get there!!!!

    GO AHEAD - - - BE AN AMERICAN !!!!!!

    taxes are used to weaken the general populace

    by creating a large middle class of educated and relatively well off people democracy is assured. by destroying the education and taxing the poor the people in power strengthen their power thus making oligarchy and tyranny the dominant social order.

    you will find in history this an old trick to preseve the status quo

    the plebs of rome during the time of the republic gained increasing rights and favours eventually with imperial rome they were reduced to beggars and dullards of "bread and circuses"

    Sure they did, and more than 1. Actually closer to all than none.
    The Inheritance Tax has been around since 1897 atleast.
    If you were to compile a list of taxes they had 100 years ago that we dont have today, you would be surprised."its bigger than this list"
    Like all the telephone taxes, back then it was telegram tax.
    Kinda short on time right now to add more, but you should read up on the Revenue Act of 1861 and the Excise tax of 1862
