    Taxes

    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 bil lion 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??

    world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

    What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!'

    And I still have to 'press 1' for English. What a CROCK OF SHIT!

    I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times

    What the heck happened?????

    We should have that now with all the tax we pay. If we weren't pissing all the money and lives away on those assholes over in Iraq and other places we could all have free health care.

    this reminds me of the kid who went to buy condoms for the first time.

    the cashier says, "that'll be $5.99 plus tax"

    he says, "TACKS!!! I thought they stayed on by themselves."

    number 9.......


    I really do love this country, but...
    1. Only in America... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

    2. Only in America... are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.

    3. Only in America... do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

    4. Only in America... do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

    5. Only in America... do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

    6. Only in America... do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

    7. Only in America... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

    8. Only in America... do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

    9. Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

    10. Only in America... do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille

    Why would anyone be entitled to free anything?

    I feel that with all the taxes that I pay if the government was run properly there wouldn't be ANY problem giving the people free health care. Many people feel the same.

    I guess you like to pay for your health care AND taxes and don't feel that you are getting ripped off?

    In case you have not noticed, this country is in a very sad state of disarray.

    Another thing that really chaps my ass is that there are people without children paying school taxes, then you see people with five children renting an apartment or house and do not pay ANY school taxes.

    I am sick and tired of paying and paying and getting nothing but lies in return.

    I hate government almost as much as I hate insurance companies. The only difference is that I can't directly tell the government what is on my mind when I have an issue.

    Lawyers, insurance companies, and politicians have a special place in hell reserved if there is any justice in this world.

    Okay, I'm done.

    Why stop with health care? give the government all your money and let them decide what you need

    I feel like I'm being screwed but not because I'm not getting tax payer funded healthcare, I feel I should have some say in how my taxes are used... The folks in DC forget who they work for.

    I have noticed... it's called political corectness, it will be the un-doing of this country.

    When you rent I'm sure the landlord uses some of the rent money to pay the taxes.
