    The Tax Poem.

    The Tax Poem - So true its scary!


    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 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
    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,
    Its time to apply
    The inheritance tax.

    Accounts Receivable Tax
    Airline surcharge tax
    Airline Fuel Tax
    Airport Maintenance Tax
    Building Permit Tax
    Cigarette Tax
    Corporate Income Tax
    Death Tax
    Dog License Tax
    Driving Permit Tax
    Excise Taxes
    Federal Income Tax
    Federal Unemployment (UI)
    Fishing License Tax
    Food License Tax
    Petrol/Diesel Tax ( Too much per litre & Tax on a Tax)
    Gross Receipts Tax
    Health Tax
    Hunting License Tax
    Hydro Tax
    Inheritance Tax
    Interest Tax
    Liquor Tax
    Luxury Taxes
    Marriage License Tax
    Medicare Tax
    Mortgage Tax
    Personal Income Tax
    Property
    Poverty Tax

    Telephone Federal Tax
    Telephone Federal, Provincial and Local Surcharge Taxes
    Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax
    Vehicle License Registration Tax
    Vehicle Sales Tax
    Water Tax
    Watercraft Registration Tax
    Well Permit Tax
    Workers Compensation Tax

    STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

    Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.

    We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middleclass, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.

    What happened?

    And I still have to 'press 1' for English!?!?!?!?

    "Tax his car,
    Tax his gas,"

    And no mention of our wonderful GST either......

    Sounds a bit like this poem may have come from the good ol US of A

    I do think that we have too much "middle class welfare" in Australia, leading to higher taxes, thus encouraging a thriving industry wholly dedicated to reducing how much tax higher income earners have to pay (flame suit on )

    Dude, grow up. Its the humour section. Be a bit more tolerant or don't read posts here. This has probably got something to do with why you got banned recently?

    Yeah it said Australia but i'm running with the origin being America.

    And i totally agree with the middle class welfare thing.

    Not realy, i got banned for posting stuff that the mods said was racist, i told them to lighten up and gave them a bit of ****, also my behaviour was out of line in general, that is why i got banned.

    I am generaly easy going and love provocative jokes, i loved the bankstown exam and most of the stuff you post but this is not funny, its just political and ignorant and the typical bull**** I cop from bogans growing up in Broadmedows.

    Not all of your stuff is rubish, but this is and you have crossed the line IMO. If it was funny then fair enough but its not, i dont see the joke. The way i see it its complaining about taxes then at the end blames wogs for it, wheres the joke? Fair enough if it was just a poem about taxes then i get it but the bit at the end.....common you cant be seriours.

    If your just going to back up bad jokes (if you can call this a joke) with "Its the humor section" then you need to have atleast some humor in it.

    I dont wana make trouble on the forum but this hit to close to home.

    Don't take it to heart mate...it could have meant Asians for example...just another stereotype. No offence meant to Asians, of course.

    I understand why you'd be upset but you don't have to take it like you are, that's all I'm saying mate.

    Yeah just think. if we didnt pay taxes, we wouldnt need to worry about stupid things like education, hospitals, medicare, PBS subsidised drugs, roads...

    Just think, if we didnt pay petrol tax, we could drive our cars so much further on the farm-tracks which would exist, coz nobody built any decent roads.

    I hate taxes, I suspect I pay a lot more than the majority of the population. I just recognise that they are a necessary evil.

    what narks me is not so much the taxes payable, its how governents, and the public "service" (for want of a better word) seem to do such a great job of wasting all that money

    But thats kind of the point.. If they used the money wisely, weren't throwing it around where it wasn't needed and creating "jobs for the boys" etc we wouldn't need a lot of these additional taxes (or they would atleast be much, much lower).

    Christ, should i just delete it? For **** sake.
