Undocumented, but HOW TRUE!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 out her 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

That must have been rather taxing to have thought up a secret taxation manifesto for Labour to implement after the next election - not a labour supporter per chance Glyn?

Hardly, dear heart. Haven't you read any of my posts? When I still believed in UK party politics I was a Tory on a District Council. Now I am free from party politics and can vote for the 'least worse' as there is no longer an obvious 'best'. I can even have the luxury of voting in tactical mode where I feel this might have an impact. To all the political parties I say "A pox on all your houses, put the country and the needs of the people first"!

A 'Jobsworth' is a paid employee of some organisation in which he has a modicum of power which he uses to enforce hidebound rules on the public. I was an elected Conservative councillor during the Thatcher years and none of us Tories claimed the expenses we were entitled to out of principle. So roll as many eyes as you like, Sunshine, you have picked on the wrong man!

Ah, well ...

Now you have a load of Lib Dems down there.

Speaking as a quite obviously Tory boy, I hope you will indulge speaking in cliches:

The Tory Party is a party in power or it is nothing.

and something about a few good chaps doing nothing.

And ... what the **** is Cameron doing? Honestly.

Get the silly sod some cocaine or something. All I ask is a thought rather than a Prius.
