Taxman -- George Harrison and Eric Clapton (live)

Here's an old Beatle's song quite appropriate for our nation's leaders, don't you think.

I'm an old Beatles fan, and Clapton fan as well. I like what George says in this song how the Taxman taxes everything you do: If you drive a car,
I'll tax the street.
If you drive to city,
I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold,
I'll tax the heat.
If you take a walk,
I'll tax your feet.

And it feels like that to me. I have to pay $2,500 to the IRS. I have never had to before, and I made a lot more over the years than I made last year. In fact, I didn't even work for 12 weeks. Amazing how this government is allowing it's citizens to be overwhelmed, and over taxed. It's a sin.

Here's what we need to get back to methinks: "No taxation without representation"

"The phrase "No Taxation Without Representation!" was coined by Reverend Jonathan Mayhew in a sermon in Boston in 1750. By 1765 the term "no taxation without representation" was in use in Boston, but no one is sure who first used it. Boston politician James Otis was most famously associated with the term, "taxation without representation is tyranny." ....Patrick Henry's resolutions in the Virginia legislature implied that Americans possessed all the rights of Englishmen; that the principle of no taxation without representation was an essential part of the British Constitution; and that Virginia alone enjoyed the right to tax Virginians."
