Reading the other posts, I thought this might tie in when things were better.

I also am appalled with the amount the politicians spend to get elected, and how many lies they say about the other.

They want the jobs so bad, but our Senators and Congressmen only work 3 days a week when in session. Don't we all wish we could be paid what they are and work the hours they do.

Taxes! At first I thought this was funny... Then, I realized "How True it is!!"

Tax his land,

Tax his wage,

Tax his bed in which he lays.

Tax his tractor,

Tax his mule,

Teach him taxes is the rule.

Tax his cow,

Tax his goat,

Tax his pants,

Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,

Tax his shirts,

Tax his work,

Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,

Tax his drink,

Tax him if he tries to think.

Tax his booze,

Tax his beers,

If he cries,

Tax his tears.

Tax his bills,

Tax his gas,

Tax his notes,

Tax his cash.

Tax him good and let him know

That after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers,

Tax him more,

Tax him until he's good and sore.

Tax his coffin,

Tax his grave,

Tax the sod in which he lays.

Put these words upon his tomb,

"Taxes drove me to my doom!"

And when he's gone,

We won't relax,

We'll still be after the inheritance TAX!!

agreed, and guess who wanted all those new social/economic programs that needed taxes to fund them, I will let you guess the party. Some of it was war that caused us to create of raise taxes. We havent floated war bonds since WWII
