At first, I thought this was funny…
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 work, Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts, Anyway!
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, 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, Tax him some more,
Tax him ’til 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.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous on the planet. We had no national debt, had the largest middleclass in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
