What
is a Billion?
This is too
true to be very 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 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 hours and
20
minutes, at the rate our government is 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,

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 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? Can you spell 'politicians!'
And I still have to "press
1" for English.
I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100
times
What the heck happened?????
