Post by toofpick »

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 any other ways to tax his ass?

Tax all he has
then let him know
You won't be done till he has no dough!

Tax his coffin
Tax his grave
Tax the hole in which he's laid

When he's gone
Do not relax
It's time to apply inheritance tax!

Accounts receivable tax
Airline surcharge tax
Airline fuel tax
Airport maintenance tax
Building permit tax
Business tax
Cigarette tax
Corporate income tax
Goods and service tax
Death tax
Driving permit tax
Environmental tax

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY!!??

Not one of these tax's existed 100 years ago and our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world!

We had no national debt and a huge middle class, a large manufacturing base and mum stayed home to raise the kids!

What the hell happened?

Could it be the lying parasitic politicians?

Oh and don't let's forget the relatively new bank charges.....but we all know we think about bankers!!

Income tax existed over a hundred years ago.I'm fairly sure there was a property tax or variant too ( window tax).

As have a number of others. Excise duty, for example, has been around since the 1600's.

I think at least some if not most of the list is lifted from the American tax system...or i have completely the wrong idea of what Liquor tax is..... :oops:
In that case Excise duty wasn't around in the 1600's unless the Native Americans were using it.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

"Standard rate tax looks set to be applied to all hot takeaway food, such as pasties and pies, as part of a government drive to close loopholes in the VAT system." :shock: Does this mean Greggs will have to raise their pie prices by about 20% ? :shock: :crazy: :shock: Shock, horror. :shock: :crazy: :shock:

We've just had a £1 bakery open and that's very reasonable. You get 2 pies, 2 cakes, 2 small loaves, 4 rolls etc for a quid..................I'm obviously keeping its location secret in case Billy decides to move HQ :whistle Having said that he's hardly likely to get North of Watford...............makes you wonder how he manages to keep his scouse accent really or is it an affectation to amplify his working class roots.................when he retires do you think he'll move back north or wallow in the south, I'm sure he'll be able to afford it on his unchanged pension benefits.
