    Default Thought Provoking



    At first I thought this was funny .. . .
    Then I realised the awful truth of it . 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 work,
    Tax his pay,
    He works for peanuts
    Anyway!

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

    Tax his tobacco,
    Tax his drink,
    Tax him if he
    Tries to think .

    Tax his car,
    Tax his gas,
    Find other ways
    To tax his ass .

    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 .

    When he's gone,
    Do not relax,
    It's time to apply
    The inheritance tax .

    Accounts Receivable Tax
    Airline surcharge tax
    Airline Fuel Tax
    Airport Maintenance Tax
    Building Permit Tax

    Driving Permit Tax
    Environmental Tax (Fee)

    STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

    Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago . . .
    & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world .

    For a long time now i have thought the Goverment employs people to dream up new ways of Taxation, but never ways of reducing it, Taxes cannot keep rising forever, this Goverment seems bent on hurting those least able to afford to pay, but they themselves waste Millions, as in the recent fiasco to allot Rail Franchises, if Richard Branson had not brought the up that it would have passed unnoticed, all the Billions given in Foreign Aid, to people who misuse the Funds, a tiny Nation like the UK trying to look big, Billions to the EU, 3 Things are getting up the noses of our People, Money to the EU, Foreign Aid, Immigrants given vast amounts that have paid nothing in, we who have are screwed tighter, he refuses to stop Foreign Aid or give a referendum on the EU, there is no Democracy any more, we are Ruled by 2 Dictators.

    We are also ruled by foreigners, my MP is a foreigner, is voted in by foreigners, why can I a true Brit, not have a true Brit MP who wants to look after the interests of true Brits in Britain. Is that too much to ask????
    My MP spends her time campaigning in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and in other countries for an alien group.
    Not once does she campaign for British interests.
    Is it too much to ask for Democracy in Britain????
