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,
It’s time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the hell happened? Can you spell ‘politicians?’ And I still have to ‘press 1’ for English!?!?!?!?

not about prosperity, its about equal distribution of resources for everyone. Granted taxes are a pain in the ass, but without them we wouldn’t have universal healthcare, welfare, universal day care etc…

Taxes address inequalities juice, we get taxed so that people with social or economic disadvantages have the same opportunity as people who don’t.

Could be worse, could be the United States get taxed to shit and not receive any kind of compensation from government agencies, social or economic.

I’ll stick with Canada, at least we get something in return.

^^ true, but when you think of it. A lot of our taxes go to waste. Prisoners, goven’t employee’s salary, bailouts (in the US) etc. just dumb shit.

5

communism…equal distribution of wealth?..and who cares about welfare or homeless people or saving the whales…

6

not communism, not distribution of wealth (money), a fairer distribution of resources and its a liberal theory
if you want to read about I got 10-15 articles that are 30 plus pages…

7

yea man agreed 100%, the systems not perfect at all but it could be worse

8

lol, that is sooooo true. they even tax your unemployment

9

blame the bolsheviks.

10

blame Mexico

do you know why they call baby mexicans paragraphs?

cause they’re not full essays.!

11

what about prisoners?

40gs a year to keep em 120gs to kill them
wtf ever happened to 12guage= $4+$20 for disposal at dump=$24

12

I definitely think the US have it better than us.
Have you ever thought about how criminally overpaid government employees are here?
I honestly think Canada wastes all that they take from us in tax. And it’s cause we don’t have the balls to say anything about it. Compared to the US, we wallow in apathy, that’s why our politicians fuck us so much. Cause we don’t do a damn thing to stop them.

you clearly need to visit this site, because you seem like the type which is labelled as the majority in this film…

Go find out the truth behind universal healthcare , welfare, etc.

Terrorism:
$160+ billion per year to fight terrorism because on average 70 americans each year are killed due to ‘terrorism’

VERSUS:

Cardiovascular diseases

Claimed 864,480 lives in 2005 (final mortality) (35.3 percent of all deaths or 1 of every 2.8 deaths).
Other final 2005 mortality: total cancer 559,312; accidents 117,809; HIV (AIDS) 12,543.
Nearly 151,000 Americans killed by CVD in 2005 were under age 65.
2005 final death rates from CVD were 324.7 for white males and 438.4 for black males; for white females 230.4 and for black females 319.7. (Death rates are per 100,000 population. The rates listed use the year 2000 standard U.S. population as the base for age adjustment.)
From 1995 to 2005, death rates from CVD declined 26.4 percent.
In the same 10-year period the actual number of deaths declined 9.6 percent.

Why is it that, once US went to afgan the herion production rate ski rocketed?
find out who the real terrorists are, the ones who destroy are earth, etc.

but then again, I would easily be bought out any day if i was in the position.

^^^ i agree with you man, all good points, everythings definitly fucked up in the US, especially the tax system, its a little more fucked up when the top percentile of the US population owns more than 90% of the wealth.
Not sayin the tax systems not fucked up in Canada, or tthat its efficient.
Sayin it give us benefits, like healthcare and other shit that I wouldn’t trade for the convenience of not paying taxes.
and yea i saw the first zeigeist, was some crazy shit ill check it out tho didnt know there was a second one.

17

I cant get started on this shit, I could go on for hours.

Ill say one thing I used to work in the GO Transit head office, people would be standing around talking for hours.

Bottom line we are getting robbed. And I think money given to people for welfare is a fuckin waste, dont give my money to them, fuck’em, get a fuckin job. I work hard so they dont have to. Doesnt make sense.

18

^^ exact same thoughts.

same as for those who smoke or do things that harm their health and you gotta pay for their bad choices.

19

^+2
Canada is too generous to the lazy, and people exploit it. Meanwhile everyone that is working hard, is getting ripped off.

20

Universal day care? I’ll google that because the last time I checked, it’s going to cost me ~$50/day…
