Somemore Taxes with 16 million out of work

A BILLION

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 TAX!!

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
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.

What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!'

And I still have to 'press 1' for English.

I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times

What the heck happened?????

And now be fined if don't get healthcare - taxes for our children and children's children, and Rationing - come one and all to this country and get nothing, but Hell on Earth.

What history book have you been reading? One written by the same pack of fools who are rewriting the Bible to fit their narrow political and social views?

A hundred years ago, we had a few plutocrats and lots and lots of people working for 8 cents an hour. Also, there was no job protection of any kind. If you got hurt or sick, you lost your job if you couldn't work. As for women working, lots of them were in sweat shops so dangerous it wasn't unheardof for dozens to be killed in fires. As for the children, ten year old kids working 10 hours a day seven days a week. One hundred years ago, a swine flu would kill millions of the youngest and healthiest people because no one cared to find cures for diseases. More American soldiers died from the 1918 influenza pandemic than died from fighting in France.

Not everything about 100 years ago was bad. For all their problems, they had optimism. The automobile, the airplane and radio were coming of age. They loved to hear about how wonderful the 20th Century would be. To a person, they would be disgusted with the weakwilled whiners, complainers and fear mongers making so much noise today. And, they would ask one question: not what's wrong with America, but what's wrong with you?

Oh, Len, not religious either, now I know where the hatred lies in you for you don't believe. You are so narrow minded it is unbelievable that you don't even care about those who came before you. Must be that new thing in schools and Universities in this country that history in America didn't happen or that the Bible was written by like you said "narrow-minded" people. So sad to see that people like you even exist here in the United States to say your views and make those around you believe you with insults and insane egos like you have. If you don't love America Len - pack your bags and leave ASAP to a country that will love your insanity Afghanistan.

Yes, and those people working those meager wages were happy, not like the Union of today that needs 25.00 or more to survive a hour, have 3 car garages that we saw recently and were not working, they were asleep on the job. Slave labor I know all about working for a Union when I started to work long ago.

Yah, now kids in America have to work for their parents can't keep up with this Government and they work shorter hours, yes, but they end up latch key children, for their parents are gone till 6:00PM at night, that is why there is Day Care and they remain open till after 7:00PM in most cases I've seen and after school activities. It should not be that way.

Swine flu has killed loads of people, because of the stupidity of others, like today where people sneeze in your face and cough in your face, don't clean their hands after a bathroom break and then eat afterwards, have seen that often now - since the President and Congress don't care, those followers of the leader from Hell, act just like him.

Len, we aren't whiners in America, only those people who take from others and hell with the future of their children, who it will be worse for them. We aren't weak-kneed, only trying to get forward in life without being told what to do in life, doing it our way, but those who want you to eat shit are in your face like this Government and nannies around you. Miserable people like you Len, who want to make others miserable because you are miserable in your life.

This country is trying to mature too quickly and by human error, we will all suffer for it.

Saw two people from NASA about 2012, and they both said that 2012 will not be drastic, but one thing will occur and since we all rely on Electrically Grids and more of them are being built here in America, by those who feel we should only rely on Electric - are we in for a shocker in 2012, by the Sun. Try to live without Electric - and nice move on this Governments part for wanting Electric only in this country - for everything Electric will be gone for 4 to 10 years if this happens in 2012 and a wonderful take-over will begin. The Left has known this for awhile and now their plan for Dictatorship will march right in. LOL if I'm right on that one.

When your parents Len, if they are alive, have to go to a panel and be asked whether they are healthy enough and want to live or die for the good of all - what will you say to the panel when the money is gone and this Government starts to Ration their healthcare. The answer you give will let me know what type of person you truly are and whether I'll ever answer you again. For there are people now-a-days with no compassion, no understanding, no respect for another and have no time to even talk to another being, which to me is sad, but to others it is a way to not be loved for in being loved you have to not hide yourself from others and people fear that.

Had a long conversation with someone I love and we have seen the stillness of this country and the people in it - who have no soul, so answer truthfully for I know a man when he lies and this President is one that every Mother would worry about if he was dating their daughters. Devious, treacherous and a fraud and I'm not afraid to say it for I've known afew in my lifetime.

Sorry to have to burst your bubble you live in, but 16 million people are out of work - Government will not tell you the truth, but those in the know will - when you only rely on the what the Government and the Left say in this country Len. Who is narrow-minded?

Why do you think the Government is going to give out more money so they don't have a 10.2% out of work in 2011, so people will vote for him,

BUT
again, this President is only giving out money for roads and bridges and buildings. Union jobs, and more Government jobs,

NOT
for small business in this country where alot of people want to work for.
