A BILLION



THIS IS SCARY BUT WORTH READING !!!!











Subject: What is a 'billion'?





This one is too true to be funny , but definitely worth sending on.





The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual

manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR

tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising

agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in

one of its releases.









A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.





B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.





C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were

living in the Stone Age.





D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.





E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and

20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.





While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at

New Orleans It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division





Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress

for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans Interesting number, what does it

mean?





A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of

New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.





B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in

New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.





C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family

gets $2,066,012.





Washington , D.C . HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken??





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!!

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

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!'



And I still have to 'press 1' for English.



I hope this goes around THE

USA at least 100 times



What the heck happened?
