My mom got this in an e-mail… check it out!

Read to the end and think about it for a minute!

Subject: Tax to the max

What Happened?
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 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 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,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

COMMENTS:Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
and our nation was 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?
And I still have to “press 1″ for English
I hope this goes around world 10 times

I was telling someone earlier that the Income Tax is unconstitutional, and then they asked why. At first I could not remember the reasoning. My argument is that employers take the money directly out of our pay against our will. It’s like the Patriot Act! Peaking into people’s business without their consent!

Well, I looked into it… I guess the 16th amendment was actually never properly ratified. For those of you that don’t know, the 16th amendment was the one saying that the individuals had to pay a part of their income to the federal government. It was never fully ratified so, it technically does not exist. And yes, it actually never existed when the founding fathers established our country!

So, how did the income tax ever come into place without proper ratification? That is a good question, my friends. The problem is people in this day and age have the mind set that the government has to do everything right. But people forget that there’s no one controlling them! We’re the ones who are supposed to do that!

Another quirky fact about our Constitution is this… originally an amendment was ratified as the 13th that inherently made it illegal for any lawyer to hold a federal office!!! Nearly every person that runs for president is a lwayer! And it’s because they all know the loopholes of the system! Friggin’ power-hungry pigs! It was never a big deal back when it was ratified so it was kind of silently forgotten. It is not included in most modern printings of the Constitution. This is insane!!!!

Why don’t people give a crap about it? Apathy is going to be what lets the tyrants sink into the government positions. PLEASE PEOPLE! For God’s sake! Resinstate the Constitution.

Vote for Ron Paul! The only presidential candidate who votes solely on Constitutionality and global neutrality.

If you believe in preserving individual freedoms granted to us by the Constitution, this is the only guy that will purely match your preference!

I’d like to thank God, my Dad, and my Psychology teacher Mrs. James for inspiring this.

“There is a well established principle in the social sciences which states that whenever the cooperation of two people is enlisted towards the completion of some task that is of equivalent importance to both (and which cannot be successfully completed except through the close cooperative enterprise of the two people), those two people will come to like each other, they will become friends, and their values, attitudes, goals, etc., will tend to become increasingly similar. This is known as the principle of the superordinate goal.”

An Atheist was on Bill O’Reilly, tonight, and he was a seemingly nice guy, but Bill and he had their disagreements and what not. He was very respectable, but a good point was brought up before I left to go to Olivia’s house. O’Reilly brought up the fact that mass muderers like Stalin, Hitler, etc. were all undoubtedly Atheists, which is true and a valid point. The guy on his show simply came back with the fact that Atheism is not the reason why they killed people.

This is where some may get offended, but I was thinking, “They were Godless! There was no reason not to channel their anger into people they hated! There was absoloutely no valid reason to respect them as individuals in their minds, because in their minds, all of these people were the cause to their problems. They were the reason why their lives were not as prosperous as they could have been.”

Now, God doesn’t always exactly cure people of the willingness to sin, but he does do one thing if you have faith! He gives you direction. When there is no direction to go in life, you can always take one which is to try to sin less! It is a great goal, and part of it is to spread the word. This word. It will bring you nothing, but happiness, even if it takes personal sacrifice.

Spreading the word is where other people become involved. And this is where the superordinate goal comes in. All people should come together and listen to the real message of peace sent by God! And I say this not as my God, but your God, our God. Whomever/whatever that may be regardless of the fact that we sometimes call it God, or Allah.

Some say “give peace a chance,” but anyone who says that as the stereotypical liberal hippy must understand that there is a lot more to that statement than it sounds. If you are a stereotypical, liberal, conservative-opposing, peace lecturing hippy, then look at your feelings towards someone like George Bush, or maybe some other more extreme person like Ann Coulter! I bet your feelings do a great job of resembling your teachings about peace! Same goes for any red-blood, true blue conservative American. Are you doing a good job of spreading Jesus’ real message of peace? Or are you maybe to centered on the fact that people should suffer lawful consequences of not following it? Sure… this and that maybe right according to religion, but since when has force worked to get people to cooperate?

Our only answer is to accept God’s goal that he has set for us; to work together for a common goal that none of us can achieve without the others’ effort: act more like Jesus. If you play your part in this goal by making your life a work in progress by eliminating hate, lust, and greed, your life will be so much happier!

If you’d like to know anymore about it, read the Bible! Or maybe there’s something else written in different words that can tell you the same thing! Either way, God sent the message here in multiple ways to be read! Find the one that you can best understand!

This being said, regardless of where you sit on the political spectrum and what you think is the right thing to do, whether it be a civil freedom or an economic freedom, our Government should not legislate upon that. Our Government should legislate on that 1) individual rights must be conserved and 2) if some person’s decisions clash with the first principle, the Government shall act accordingly to protect the first principle.
