Taxes
April 27, 2024
THE MORE oppressive government becomes, the more taxes we pay. But, of course, it’s all for our “freedom” and “rights.”
Here’s a ditty found in The Fishwrapper of April 9, 2024, I guess to ease the pain of this massive transfer of wealth, which may be still fresh in your mind. Maybe the excessive publicity of the recent solar eclipse was a way of saying, “Look over there!” during tax season.
Tax his cow, tax his goat;
Tell him, “Taxing is the rule.”
Tax his tractor, tax his mule;
Teach him taxing is no joke.
Tax his oil, tax his gas,
Tax his notes, tax his cash.
Tell 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 ‘neath which he’s laid.
Put these words upon his tomb:
“Taxes drove him to his doom.”
After he’s gone, we won’t relax;
We’ll still collect inheritance tax.
