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!

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 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.

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.
And now in this great country of mine I have to "press 1" for English!

What happened?

I hope this goes around the world 10 times

The truth is the word ‘income’ as used in the Income tax was never defined and left open the door for tax profiteers to define it in any way that suits their fancy. This is the root problem with the Income tax.

To get back to a well-defined and constitutional tax for funding federal government requires enactment of the FairTax (fairtax.org). The FairTax movement is gathering momentum and adding more and more members of Congress to its list of supporters.

To become richly educated over the hrror that is the Income tax, watch this:

People will pay any amount of taxes as long as you raise taxes slowly enough and give people lots of doritos and pro sports to watch. The revolution is not coming.

Abracadabra, thus we learn
the more you create, the less you earn
the less you earn, the more you are driven,
the more destroyed,the they feed,
the more you pay,the more they need,
the more you earn, the less you keep.
And now I lay me down to sleep,I pray the lord my soul to take,
if the tax collector hasnt got it before I wake.
Ogden Nash....thanks to PJ O Rourke,,,

I always though it was sad how military personnel were taxed to pay their own salary.

Once I saw a “Hi and Lois” cartoon where some guy at Hi’s work was yelling “We must get the government out of our lives!”, and then Hi says “You used to be such a liberal. What happened?”, and the guy says “Taxes.”

IIRC - The Beatles' "Taxman" song had the words to the effect -

"Drive your car and they tax the street
Park your car and they tax your feet."

How true!!
