2. Taxes — by Rene Portales (Posted by Scotty Boman)
   
   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 tractor,
   Tax his mule,
   Teach him taxes
   Are the rule
   
   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, 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
   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.
   
   Accounts Receivable Tax
   Building Permit Tax
   CDL license Tax
   Cigarette Tax
   Co rporate Income Tax
   Dog License Tax
   Federal Income Tax
   Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA)
   Fishing License Tax
   Food License Tax,
   Fuel permit tax
   Gasoline Tax (42 cents per gallon)
   Hunting License Tax
   Inheritance Tax
   Interest expense
   Inventory tax
   IRS Interest Charges IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax)
   Liquor Tax
   Luxury Taxes
   Marriage License Tax
   Medicare Tax
   Property Tax
   Real Estate Tax
   Service charge taxes
   Social Security Tax
   Road usage taxes
   Sales Tax
   Recreational Vehicle Tax
   School Tax
   State Income Tax
   State Unemployment Tax (SUTA)
   Telephone federal excise tax
   Telephone federal universal service fee tax
   Telephone federal, state and local surcharge taxes
   Telephone minimum usage surcharge tax

   Telephone state and local tax
   Telephone usage charge tax
   Utility Taxes
   Vehicle License Registration Tax
   Vehicle Sales Tax
   Watercraft registration Tax
   Well Permit Tax
   Workers Compensation Tax
   Now let's blame the donkey's or the elephants. Good idea.
   
   COMMENTS: 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?
   And I still have to "press 1" for English
   I hope this goes around the country 10 times
