I’m gonna ask you to read sumpin’ kinda long…
But well worth your time…
So I’m challenging you to…
·
1st: read to the end…(including the
Taxing Poem)…and
·
2nd: to send it on to
someone else…
The thoughts therein are dear to
my heart…
So here goes…
Politicians are
the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against
them.
Have you ever
wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY
do we have deficits?
Have you ever
wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do
we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't
propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't
have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations.
The House of
Representatives does.
You and I don't
write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't
set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't
control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred
senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices
equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally,
morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague
this country.
I excluded the
members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the
Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a
sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all
the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal
authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a
President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a
politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept
or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's
responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human
beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not
their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility
to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations
and taxes.
It seems
inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who
stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem
that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the
plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then
it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code
is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget
is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army
& Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq
and Afghanistan ...
If they do not
receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to
the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no
insoluble government problems.
Do not let
these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs
they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to
regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take
this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there
exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy", "inflation," or "politics"
that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545
people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they
alone, have the power.
They, and they
alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided
the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...
We should vote
all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
QUOTE:
“In the
beginning of change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated ...and
scorned.
When his cause
succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."
--Mark Twain
What you do
with this article now that you have read it... is up to you.
This might be
funny if it weren't so true.
Now after the aforementioned points………………….
don’t forget the poem……………………..
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;
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...
Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me
to my doom...'
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
It’s time to apply
The inheritance tax.

AT FIRST, I THOUGH
THIS WAS FUNNY…
FUNNY HOW YOUR
PERSPECTIVE CAN CHANGE, HUH?
Not one of
these taxes existed 100 years ago, & 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, if agreed, stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the
heck happened?
Can you spell
'politicians?'
I hope this
goes around THE USA at least 545 times!!!
YOU can help it
get there!!!
GO AHEAD. . . BE AN AMERICAN!!!
How’s that Hope & Change workin’ out for ya…?
