Every North American should read
this...
The next time you hear a politician use the
word "billion" in a casual manner, think about
whether you want
the "politicians" spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a
difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency
did a good job of putting that figure into some
perspective.
A. A billion seconds ago it was
1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was
alive.
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in
the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the
earth on two feet.
E. A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate
our government is spending
it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's
take a look at New Orleans It's amazing what you can learn with
some simple division
. .
Louisiana Senator, Mary
Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION
to rebuild New
Orleans . Interesting number, what
does it mean?
A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents
of New
Orleans (every
man, woman, child), you
each get $516,528.
B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251
homes in New
Orleans , your home
gets
$1,329,787.
C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family
gets $2,066,012.
Washington , D.C .. HELLO!!! .. Are
all your calculators broken??
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 tobacco,
Tax his

Tax his beers,
If he cries,
Tax his
tears.
Tax his bills,
Tax his gas,
Tax

Tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him
know
That after taxes, he has no dough.
If he
hollers,
Tax him more,
Tax hi m! until h e'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

Not one of these taxes existed 100
years ago, and 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 stayed home to raise the
kids. What happened? Can you spell
'politicians!'
And
I still have to "press 1" for English.
I hope this goes
around THE USA at least 100 times
What the heck
happened?????
