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 the
Stone Age.
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),
is presently asking
the Congress for
$250 BILLION
to rebuild New
Orleans .
Interesting number,
what does it mean?
A. Well, if you are
one of 484,674
residents of
New Orleans
(every man, woman,
child), you
each get
$516,528.
B. Or, if you have
one of the 188,251
homes in
New Orleans
, your home gets
$1,329,787.
C. Or, if you are a
family of four, your
family
gets $2,066,012.
Washington, D.C ..
HELLO!!! ... Are all
your calculators
broken??
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 hi m 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
