Democrats Happened

At first I thought this was funny............then I realized the awful truth of it.

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 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, then 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 poor.

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, accounts receivable tax, building permit fee, CDL license fee, cigarette tax, corporate income tax, dog license fee, federal income tax, federal unemployment tax, fishing license fee, food license fee, fuel permit fee, gasoline tax (42 cents per gallon), hunting license fee, inheritance tax, inventory tax, IRS interest charges, IRS penalties (tax on top of tax), liquor tax, luxury taxes, marriage license fee, Medicare tax, personal property tax, real estate tax, Social Security tax, road usage taxes, sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, state income tax, state unemployment tax, telephone federal excise tax, telephone federal universal service fee, telephone federal, state and local surcharge taxes, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone recurring and non-recurring charges tax, telephone state and local tax, telephone usage charge tax, utility taxes, vehicle license registration tax AND fee, vehicle sales tax, watercraft registration tax, well permit fee, workers compensation Tax....

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago and our nation was the most prosperous in the world, had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world and even with Mom staying home to raise the kids.

What happened!?

Actually, we know what happened.

We simply must keep it from happening ever again.
