The Tax Poem
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 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 one of the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middleclass, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids, & much more things, which could not be reminded of.
