The Tax Tax

Papa B:

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
Taxes to pass

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.

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 middle class in the world, and Mom could stay home to raise the kids.

The last 80 years have seen the rise of a federal leviathan, unconstitutional in its genesis, unrelenting in its thirst for control, and inarguably destructive of liberty.

Our founders and framers were brilliant human beings. They anticipated and feared the rise of an immense, lawless, rogue, authoritarian, central government and they explicitly designed the Constitution to prevent it.

But politically expedient criminals (for that's what they are: criminals) -- many malevolent, some merely useless idiots -- have collaborated to render our nation's highest law nearly meaningless.

It took 80 years for us to get here and it may take 80 years for us to roll it back. But roll it back we must, if we are to save this Republic for subsequent generations.
