    THIS IS TOO TRUE TO BE VERY FUNNY.

    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 in

    one of its releases.



    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 caves.

    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), asked the
    Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild
    New Orleans . Interesting number. What did it mean?

    A. Well, if you were one of 484,674 residents of
    New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you were supposed to get
    $516,528.00

    B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, your were
    supposed to

    get $1,329,787.00 for repairs.

    C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family would it have gotten
    $2,066,012.00

    Washington, D.C . HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken?? (No
    one got anything, and they never rebuilt New Orleans)



    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 drink,

    Tax him if he tries to think.

    Tax his booze,

    Tax his beers,

    If he cries,

    Tax his tears.

    Tax his bills,

    Tax his gas,

    Tax his notes,

    Tax his cash.

    Tax him good and let him know

    That after taxes, he has no dough.

    If he hollers,

    Tax him more,

    Tax him until he'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 TAX!!

    STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

    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!, Federal Resrve Bank(sters)

    And I still have to 'press 1' for English.



    I hope this goes around THE USA at least a billion times
