[Winona] Serious humor about property and all taxes the last 100 years ....

[Lyle Ziegeweid]

Following the current subject of property taxes...........  
At first I thought the following was funny...then I realized the awful truth of it.  
(Gets worse toward the bottom).
Joann Ziegeweid


Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed. 

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his cow, 
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars, 
Tax his beers,
If he cries, then
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his you know what.

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.

Put these words
upon his tomb, 
"Taxes drove me
to my doom..."

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply 
The inheritance tax.

COMMENTS: 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.
