Taxation a true story

How true is this. Scary
At first I thought this was funny....Then I realised the awful truth of it.

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 work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his !!!.

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.

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
It’s time to apply
The inheritance tax.

And Now they want a bloody Carbon Tax !

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the
most prosperous in the world.. We had absolutely no national debt, had a
large middle class, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the "Hell" happened? Can you spell 'lying parasite politicians wasting our money' ?

And then, there are the bank charges !

    Must admit not heard of a few of those taxes, perhaps because they seem to be US taxes and not UK ones. Perhaps an accurate list might be useful?

    Feed in Tariff tax - no longer a Compulsory Unrequited Payment.
    coming soon
    Renewable Heat Incentive -

    Our cousins in America don't yet have 50% of their GDP spent for them by their politicians (and unelected apparatchiks); as they still control the world's number one reserve currency, they print bits of paper, send them to the communist part of China, then live on the sweat shops of Chinese industry.

    The worms will turn, sooner or later.
  • There are two things in life that are certain - death and taxes......

    A lot of people know this phrase, but don't realise that there is a second line - at least death doesn't get worse every year!

    The vast majority of those taxes do not apply in the UK or in the same context.
