About taxes again

Received the following poem from the Heirborn Ranger. He says he did not originate it, but got it from Dick Sauer who got it from Hank Barlas who got it from Bill Hefner. It is probably in the public domain by now.

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

You might want to contact your "Congress Critter" (tip to Ms Right Wing) about supporting either the flat tax or the fair tax.

My personal favorite has become the fair tax, which

Abolishes the IRS

Closes all tax loopholes and brings fairness to taxation

Maintains our current Social Security and Medicare benefits

Brings transparency and accountability to tax policy

Allows American products to compete fairly

Reimburses the tax on purchases of basic necessities

Enables retirees to keep their entire pension

Enables workers to keep their entire paycheck
However, some folks disagree. I report, you decide.
