This might be funny if it weren’t so darned 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 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 in the world happened? Can you spell ‘politicians?’
And I still have to ‘press 1′ for English!?

In the face of blind ideology, conservative people will do the proper thing and turn the other cheek.  Walking away from dumb confrontations is what we do, that is one of the hallmarks of conservatism.  I for one have been laughing at the libs marching on city hall, almost like they are commando taking a bunker, although I’m pretty sure they would hate that comparison!  The facts are, however, that our country is in a mess because politicians (for the most part) blow with the wind (or the loudest voice with apparent large numbers).

Politicans can be counted on to do what the masses want.  Period.  We have started this business forum to increase the volume of OUR voice.  Because we all have jobs (most run own own business) and can not take time away from our customers to march on city hall, we must resort to alternative communication methods–the internet, church and family conversations, drop-in flyers with mailings, and yard-signs.
