taxes ...... this is not funny

This was emailed to me this morning, not sure if everyone has seen it, but thought it was worth posting..........




At first I thought this was funny...... Then I realized 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.

And Now Juliar Gillard Wants a Carbon Tax !!!!!

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

A carbon tax will by default also cause an increase in most of the taxes above!!!

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.. We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids. We have the most complicated tax system in the world.

What in the "Hell" happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'

I hope this goes around Australia at least 100 times!!!!!
YOU can help it get there!!!!

GO AHEAD - - - be
an
Australian
