This is too true to be funny. 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 it's 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 Pounds ago was only 13 hours and 12 minutes, At the rate our government Is spending it. Building Permit Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Income Tax Vat Tax Unemployment Tax Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Fuel Permit Tax Petrol/Diesel Tax Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Inventory Tax (tax on top of tax) Liquor Tax Luxury Tax Marriage License Tax Property Tax Real Estate Tax Service charge taxes Social Security Tax Road Usage Tax Local Tax Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Workers Compensation Tax STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago... And our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt... We had the largest middle class in the world... And Mum stayed home to raise the kids. What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!' I hope this goes around the UK At least 100 times What the hell happened????? Gordon Brown, that's What |
