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.

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!

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 midd­le­class in the world, and Mom stay­ed home to rai­se the kids.

What in the hell happened?
Can you spell "p o l i t i c i a n s" ?!
The­re we go ....

* gemeint ist U.S.A., die­se Zusam­men­stel­lung habe ich von dort bekommen ....
