Taxed to death

Just wanted to share an email from this morning...
Hope it's not a Repost...

Thought Provoking:

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,
T ax 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.

Sobering...as always...
 
Wasn't one of the primary reasons for all of us defecting from England [at that time] was over taxation?

*I* want to know if I choose to GIVE a buddy $2000 of my ALREADY TAXED money, why does he have to pay "gift tax" on it? ? ? That's bull.

It's called a "loophole" and it's how they vacation in the Med each winter

All our taxes fund the Military Industrial Complex. By the way thanks for the paycheck...

It'd be nice if our contributions were put back into our OWN country in the form of Public works projekts on the scale they were implemented in the great depression. Think about how much more wonderful our nation would be if we spent all of those IRAQ war dollars on domestic infrastructure improvement projects.
 
A question to add;

Why is a tax refund check considered as income the following year? Wasn't I was already taxed on it once which is why I was given a refund...
 
In Pittsburgh, PA, Alleghany county to be exact, just passed a 10% drink tax to pay for the transit authority.

It takes about 10 minutes for the movie to get to the start. then you can fast forward throught the religion part and get onto the taxes in the usa. As well as the market and why the us split from the british
(an ideal which your country spits on now)
 
Just heard the Demo's (LEFT-LEFT Wing side) is seeking a Bill to TAX everyone having a child
wowold.gif
. So, with all the SINGLE - NO INCOME MONEY MOTHERS, just who do you think will end up paying for HER TAX
dunno.gif
. Our Congressmen and Women are CRAZY with Taxes. Infact, they don't even have the nerves to call it TAXES, it's call Revenue Enhancements

Taxes over 10% only help TWO types of people.
1) Politicans

 who buy votes with your taxes (for both personal and corporate buy offs or pay backs)
2) Those in the community to LAZY

 to work

Other than that, 10% of eveyones income would be MORE than enough to do what the CONSTITUTION (I know we've heard of that) says the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is responsible for. Anything else, well that's a STATE ISSUE. You want it, YOU got it

, if not, well then you DON'T have to pay for it !!!
 
just my opinion, but I feel the military should NOT have to pay income tax! Doesn't make sense, our taxes pay for our wages that are then taxed to ensure the freedom to allow our government to tax us...

- grrr, rant over...
 
From the time a person is born and until they die,there is always someone is trying to take something away from them.
 
What sucks is that, when you get your paucheck, they take taxes out of it. then you pay taxes AGAIN on that money when you spend it.
