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.

COMMENTS:
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What happened? And I still have to "press 1" for English . . .
Whatever people can get away with, they will.
They do because they can,
and you yourself certainly let them.
A taxpayer's rebellion used to mean killing the tax collector, too.
<schniff> Those were the days....
In the past 100 years (the timespan you mention)...
We have raised life expectancy has raised from 48 years to 75 years with government run research, public immunization and public health programs.
We have increased the literacy rate from 50% to 99% with public education.
We have stopped lynching through government run civil rights enforcement.
We sent men to the moon with government run NASA.
We defeated communism with government run military spending and governement spending on technology that provided both military superiority with side benefits for a strong economy.
We have an economy that thrives because of government built interstate highways with government bridges and tunnels.
We defeated polio with government sponsored research combined with a government run immunization program.
We depend on government run agencies to provide information and protection from terrorists.
It seems to me that these taxes have been spent on an awful lot of good things.
If only they'd buy you a bus ticket to Tijuana....
I would prefer Monterrey.
