Start Reform with Death of the "Death Tax"

The ancient philosophy was: 10% for the work of God (tithes) and 10% to the King. Here we are in the 3rd millennium and we do not give 10% for the work of God and the "King" has gotten way out of hand. The 60 Plus Association forwarded the following anonymous poem to us and it has been entered into the Congressional Record. It sums up our position on Tax Reform:

Tax his cow, tax his goat,
Tax his pants, tax his coat,

Tax his crops, tax his work,
Tax his tie, tax his shirt.

Tax his tractor, tax his mule,
Teach him taxes are a rule,

Tax his oil, tax his gas,
Tax his notes, tax his cash;

Tax him good and let him know,
After taxes he has no dough.

If he hollers, tax him more;
Tax him ‘til 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 after he’s gone, he can’t relax;
They’ll soon be after his Inheritance Tax!
