"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving,regulate it. And if it stops moving,subsidize it." ~ Ronald Reagan ~ Tax Forms I think that I shall never see a tax form plain enough for me. A form that I can understand without a lawyer near at hand To guide this poor benighted me so I won't owe a penalty. A form that I will not detest or take as more than an awful jest. A form with pages that I can read and fill out easily with some speed Such forms weren't made for fools like me nor even God who made a tree. ~ Author Unknown ~ Taxation Poem 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 chew, tax his smoke, Teach him taxes are no joke. Tax his car, tax his grass, Tax the roads he must pass Tax his food, tax his drink, Tax him if he tries to think. Tax his sodas, 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 ~ Author Unknown ~ © Tina's Prayer Gate December 12, 2019
