A Tax Poem by William Starmer and edited by me.

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!

A TAX POEM

Tax his land and tax his bed.

Tax the table at which he's fed.

Tax his tractor - Tax his mule,

Teach him taxes are now the rule.

Tax his work and tax his pay.

He works for peanuts anyway!

Tax his cow and tax his goat.

Tax his pants and tax his coat.

Tax his ties and tax his shirt.

Tax his work and 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

You won't be done ‘til he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers then tax some more,

Tax him 'til 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 doom.'

When he's gone, do not relax.

Its time to use 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 stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the hell happened? 

Can you spell 'P.O.L.I.T.I.C.I.A.N.S.!'

And I still have to 'press 1' for English.

I hope this goes around the U.S.A. at least 100 times!

GO AHEAD, FORWARD THIS NOW
