Death & Taxes



The Mantra of the Tax-and-Spend Democrats


Tax his land, Tax his wage, Tax the bed in which he lays.

Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes are the rule.

Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, then Tax his coat.


Tax his ties, Tax his shirts, Tax his work, and 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, then Tax his tears.

Tax his bills, Tax his gas, Tax his notes, and 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 'til 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!!!

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 happened? Can you spell 'politicians'??? What the heck happened?????

I used to buy into the idea of a tax and spend democrat. But now I find the republicans to be worse. Instead of tax and spend, they're borrowing and spending just as much.

At this point, I don't mind paying taxes for decent services. I'm sick of tax cuts without comparable cuts in spending. And I definitely mind BORROWING and never reducing spending. At least when we're taxed, we don't have to pay back with interest. The republicans have lost this battle because their actions are so inadequate compared to their ideals.

I tend to agree, but I have to weigh that along with I believe more in the programs the Republicans borrow-and-fund than what the Democrats want to tax-and-spend on.

Both are poor solutions, just I feel the Republicans are the Least Worst. :-/
