Getting Taxed to Death?

Let me tell you how it will be;
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
'Cause Im the taxman,
Yeah, Im the taxman.

Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all.
'Cause Im the taxman,
Yeah, Im the taxman.

(if you drive a car, car;) - Ill tax the street;
(if you try to sit, sit;) - Ill tax your seat;
(if you get too cold, cold;) - Ill tax the heat;
(if you take a walk, walk;) - I'll tax your feet.

Taxman!


'Cause Im the taxman,
Yeah, Im the taxman.

Don't ask me what I want it for, (ah-ah, mister Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more. (ah-ah, mister heath)
'Cause Im the taxman,
Yeah, Im the taxman.

Now my advice for those who die, (taxman)
Declare the pennies on your eyes. (taxman)
'Cause Im the taxman,
Yeah, Im the taxman.

And you're working for no one but me.

Taxman!

The latest increase raises federal obligations to a record $546,668 per household in 2008, according to the USA TODAY analysis. That's quadruple what the average U.S. household owes for all mortgages, car loans, credit cards and other debt combined.

Bottom line: The government took on $6.8 trillion in new obligations in 2008, pushing the total owed to a record $63.8 trillion.
..... (And that doesn't include all those trillions that are "disappearing from the Fed.)

Maybe if the feds could rein in their own lifestyles of the rich and famous, by not spending $57,000 dollars on gold-embossed playing cards for Air Force Two, we wouldn't be enslaving our grandkids to a lifetime of debt.

great post, Greg.

I think despite the recent bailout fiasco many people still don't realize that greedy blood sucking bankers are the source of all our problems.
