  Received from a party that I will not identify for his own personal security.

 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 fuel,
  Find other ways
  To tax the fool

  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.

  Accounts Receivable Tax
  Building Permit Tax
  CDL license Tax
  Cigarette Tax
  Corporate Income Tax
  Dog License Tax

    Firearms Tax
 
     Excise Taxes
      Federal Income Tax
      Federal Unemployment Tax (FUT A )
      Fishing License Tax
      Food License Tax,
      Fuel permit tax
      Gasoline Tax (42 cents per gallon)

      Gross Receipts Tax
      Hunting License Tax
      Inheritance Tax
      Interest expense Tax
      Inventory tax
      IRS Interest Charges IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax)
      Liquor Tax
      Luxury Taxes
      Marriage License Tax
      Medicare Tax

      Personal Property Tax
      Property Tax
      Real Estate Tax
      Service charge taxes
      Social Security Tax
      Road usage taxes
      Sales Tax
      Recreational Vehicle Tax
      School Tax

      State Unemployment Tax (SUT A )
      Telephone federal excise tax

      Telephone usage charge tax
      Utility Taxes
      Vehicle License Registration Tax
      Vehicle Sales Tax
      Watercraft registration Tax
      Well Permit Tax
      Workers Compensation 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 the happened?  Can you spell “politicians!”

      And I still have to “press 1” for English.
      I hope this goes around THE US A at least 100 times

Friends, this was written by a 59 year old man that earned an MBA in Economics many years ago. He is also a Viet Nam Veteran that served in the 75th of the 101st Airborne. He will soon die. Let us never forget these words of wisdom.

The Caste of Warriors

May 22, 2007

Source: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18796642/

It is said that there are those that are Warriors that do not know that they are Warriors. It should also be noted that many, simply do not recognize a Warrior for what He is.

Ladies, and Gentlemen; Here is a simple fact: “Know a Warrior by His deeds.”

If the Army needed someone to write a manual about winning the hearts and minds of children during war, it could have turned to Sgt. 1st Class Scott J. Brown.Brown reached out to children during the war in Iraq, and was good at it, his family said Monday. By nature he loved children. Brown had a son, two daughters, and nephews and nieces who adored him, his family said.

Brown took it upon himself to create his own outreach project, with family members sending him stuffed animals, toys and games that he could hand out to Iraqi youngsters who were devastated by war and may have built some mistrust of American soldiers.

“When he was in Iraq, he asked me to send boxes of stuffed animals so that he could hand them out to the children,” his sister, Debbi Hood, said. “I guess it was a way for soldiers to show the children of Iraq that Americans were safe and good people. They built their trust that way . . . He felt sorry for them.”

Brown, 33, died Friday in Iraq after he was hit by small-arms fire, the Defense Department said.

He was the second soldier with Colorado ties to be killed last Friday.

Sgt. Ryan J. Baum, 27, of Aurora, also died of wounds he suffered from small-arms fire, the department said. Baum was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 509th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, Fort Richardson, Alaska.

In addition to Operation Iraqi Freedom, Brown toured other world hot spots, including Afghanistan, Kuwait and Kosovo.

When he married his wife, Delilah, nearly two years ago, Brown was deployed again to serve in Afghanistan and then two more tours in Iraq. He saw his wife for only about four months during the couple’s nearly two years of marriage.

“You could see by his rank that he was an awesome soldier for only being in the Army for nine years,” his family said in a statement.

“Scott was always so humble about his job and didn’t like to be considered a hero. He said, ‘I am just doing my job for my country and so my family can live in a land of freedom.’ “

Brown grew up in Brookfield, Wis., and was a huge Packers fan, his family said. He graduated from Brookfield Central High School, but moved to Fort Collins, where he lived with his sister for about a year and a half.

His sister remembered that while growing up, he sometimes talked about following in the footsteps of his late father, Vernon Brown, who served in the Korean War. At 24, Scott Brown enlisted.

He was assigned to Fort Benning, Ga., later moved to Fort Hood, Texas, then deployed to Kosovo and Kuwait.

He eventually made it into airborne and was assigned with the 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division in Fort Bragg, N.C.

Funeral services for Brown are expected to be held in Milwaukee.

In addition to his sister, Brown is survived by his wife, Delilah, son, Taylor (TJ), and stepdaughters, Vicki and Cassie; his mother, Lynne, stepfather, Lory Ferguson; and his brother, Michael.

“Scott would do anything for anybody, especially when it had to do with kids,” his family’s statement read. “His heart was as big as his dedication to his country. He never let us worry about him and always assured us that he would be fine.”

I submit that this man was a Warrior.

Fallen Marines Guard the gates of Heaven. Paratroopers guard the paths to the gates.

An Excellent Letter

May 19, 2007

I received this in an email, and sourcing it to the original has not been possible. Still, the message rings true!

Subject: An Excellent Letter

Here’s one woman who is telling it like it is…in her opinion!

Written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it! This is one pissed off lady.

“Are we fighting a war on terror or aren’t we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001 ? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation’s capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn’t they?

And I’m supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was “desecrated” when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?…Well, I don’t. I don’t care at all.

I’ll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I’ll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia

I’ll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg’s head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I’ll care when the cowardly so-called “insurgents” in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

I’ll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I’ll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution’s Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an
Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don’t care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don’t care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don’t care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed “special” food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being “mishandled,” you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don’t care.

And oh, by the way, I’ve noticed that sometimes it’s spelled “Koran” and other times “Quran.” Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and -you guessed it -I don’t care ! ! ! ! !

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your e-mail friends. Sooner or later, it’ll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!

If you don’t agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don’t complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great country! And may I add this quote: “Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don’t have that problem.” …..Ronald Reagan

I have another quote that I would like to add AND…….I hope you forward all this. “If we ever forget that we’re One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” also by….. Ronald Reagan

One last thought for the day: In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England ‘s Prime Minister Tony Blair’s words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:
“A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in… And how many want out.”

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
