Actually I’m not upset just pointing out the error in your ways (being a LIB) and not standing up for truth, justice, and the American way. (I heard that somewhere when I was a kid). I don’t see them invading Utah because other than some great skiing and some pretty scenery it’s a bland state. It appears to be the other way around with many Mormons migrating to Nevada. Contrary to popular belief they are nice people who for the most part mind their own business. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to annoy 3peet. (<)<
The Tax Poem
At first I thought this was funny...then I realized the awful truth of it. Be sure to read all the way to the end!
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 work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!
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
Tax his tears.
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.
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.

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 middleclass in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the hell happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'
I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times!!!!! YOU can help it get there!!!!

Accounts Receivable Tax -No such thing

CDL license Tax- While the DMV is a nightmare bureaucratic behemoth, 100 years ago there were about nine cars in the United States.
Cigarette Tax -You're going to pay here one way or another - either in increased healthcare premiums or the smokers get to contribute to the state healthcare system that is going to give them some healthcare when they have COPD & lung cancer.

Dog License Tax -eehhhhh, kind of need some regulation on pets (see Vick, Michael), and it's pretty minimal "tax"

Fishing License Tax -Dept. of Fish & Game - Unregulated use means there'd be no more Fish or Game left.

Telephone federal excise tax, Telephone federal universal service fee tax, Telephone federal, state and local surcharge taxes, Telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, Telephone recurring and non-recurring charges tax, Telephone state and local tax, Telephone usage charge tax- These taxes fund 911, emergency response, and rural 911 in addition to funding regulation of the telecom industry (so that AT&T, or whoever, can't try bait and switch advertising, for example, or can't dig up your street and then not repave it).

californians are going to get taxed to hell with the new budget
"raise the sales tax by 1 cent on the dollar, nearly double the vehicle license fee that motorists pay annually, increase taxes on gasoline by 12 cents a gallon and impose a 2.5 percent surcharge on personal income taxes."
