Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Taxes!!
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 as-.
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.

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.
And now in this great country of mine I have to "press 1" for English!
What happened?

That graph happened.
That number? That debt happened.
"The estimated population of the United States is 301,953,594
so each citizen's share of this debt is $29,170.96.
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.28 billion per day since September 29, 2006!"
That happened.
Oh god, what will it be like when I am 50.
Nice poem. I showed it to my friend's parents and his Dad is putting it on the office fridge at work.

Too funny Bobby.
I RARELY start threads like this one, yet here I was, just finished copying the exact same list you just posted.
Good think I looked before I started a new thread.
Hilarious and true.

First of all, I especially hate property taxes.
Another tax not mentioned (probably because few people have to pay it) is "gas guzzler tax." I was always under the impression that it had something to do with fuel consumption for a vehicle given it's "class." However, as it was recently explained to me, it's actually based on a power to weight ratio--regardless of fuel economy. My brother had to pay "gas guzzler tax" on a car that gets 28-30 mpg. Now that's just shifty and deceitful.

Just another war that isnt going anywhere.... Its like trying to fight the gangs in the USA... they will NEVER go away.
