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 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 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.

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,a huge manufacturing base, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the Hell happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians wasting our money?
Oh, and don't forget the relatively new bank charges....
And we all know what we think of Bankers.

It says UK but I think it's American? They spell licence as license (US spelling) and there is no Medicare tax in the UK!

At least we no longer have tax on windows or beards ...

I think that you are correct, I must admit that I did not read it through thoroughly before I copied it over.

Well, we know how much the Yanks love paying taxes!

I don't know about you folk, but I'm far more worried about taxes, than about bank haircuts. You can hide your money all you like (and avoid it being taken from your bank account) but when customs&excise or the Revenue knock on your door...And yes, it's no better in Spain, France, wherever.

Tax his gas,( ref car)
To tax his ass.

income tax in the UK since 1799
income tax in the US since 1861

but surely Medicare tax is a US thing

Seven out of 10 of the top taxed countries are in Europe...wonder why that is

Spain is now one of the highest taxed

What is bad in the Uk is the jump between bands. People can get a job with a higher salary or promotion and find themselves worse of!

Pocaloca

How?

That could only happen if the higher rate was taxed at over 100%.

It's been around for years, and even been on BE a few times before.

There's an old Beatles song called Taxman. Apparently George Harrison wrote it when he found out they had to pay 95% of their earnings as supertax!

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

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

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.
