Default Off Subject; Billion


A friend sent me this today and I thought it would be worth posting for
others to
read and consider before the primary
elections are held..... definitely something to THINK about, that's for
sure!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

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 billion dollars ago was only 8 hrs and 20 mins, at the rate our
government is currently 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 him 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 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

Before anyone blames just Democratics or Liberals, Let's remember the
Iraqi War is costing 12 BILLON A MONTH. Mostly borrowed from China.
