A friend of mine gave me a fairly large sheet of paper about taxes. It was interesting actually. I think it's only appropriate I share it. If you recieved one of these large papers I'd love to know about it. Just leave a comment :)
The paper reads:
"Think about this the next time you VOTE!!!
This might be funny if it weren't so 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 "butt"
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,

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 the heck happened?! Can you spell 'politicians?' And I still have to 'press 1' for English?!
I hope this goes around the USA at least 100 times!! You can help it get there!! GO HEAD -- BE AN AMERICAN!!"
Hmm... with ALL these taxes why on earth are we in debt?!
That is all.
