I should have written a poem about tax history!!!

Include the Laffer curve!

[tuliptree76]

It's my bed time.

Good night, Bob!

[NicknamedBob]

"Include the Laffer curve!"

NnB: Yes, yes! The Laffer curve! And static versus dynamic analysis! Oh, ... my mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening thru a cosmic vapor of invention.

Taggart: Ditto.

Hedley Lamarr: "Ditto"? "Ditto," you provincial putz?

Oops. Wrong channel.

[Professional Engineer]

Include the Laffer curve!

Ah yes, the Laffer Curve. Limited by line asymptotic humor line on one side and death on the other.

[Tax-chick]

Cool! The Scouts could build one of those!

[Monkey Face]

...I come by from time to time to see just how bored everybody is.

If you'd come by more often, we wouldn't be so bored! Howdy, stranger!

[Monkey Face]

That looks like something even I could build!

[Tax-chick]

You're up early!

I need to come up with something for supper and also run today. 60's and slightly drizzly.

[Dead Corpse]

What Happened?
At first I thought this was funny...then I realized the 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

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, well I am quite content swiveling about in my pod and doing nothing important. They will not let me drive. *Grins*

[Tax-chick]

To be fair, some of those are "fees" which are intended at least partly to cover the cost of a service.

However, then the question is whether the government should be involved in whatever the function is.

[Dead Corpse]

Actually, it's worse. Some are taxes on fees. Fees I can handle, as long as they go to the states purpose. Our gas taxes, here in Texas, were supposed to go to pay for roads. Turns out, it went in the general fund instead.

Now, we are being saddled with toll roads on top of all the other taxes. After the fact, they tell us part of the toll money will go... you guessed it, into the general fund.

Any wonder I'm moving back to MN?

Same here.

I thought you were moving to MN because you love snow!

All right, I've hinted at this all week. So, we had 120ft of 1 1/2" PVC, 20ft of metal conduit, and about 60 fitting of various types. What're we to do?

How about, build a bed for Spiderboy!

Most of the cutting is done, and the frame is dry fitted.

What a mess.

Inspector Bittygirl is on the job.

Spiderboy admires our work.

Finally assembly begins.

Spiderboy makes the inaugural ladder climb.

Hey, I can touch the ceiling! Dad thinks, "hmmm".

"My God, It's full of stars!", or something like that.

Spiderboy installs the Milky Way under the bed.

Let me just test this thing out here.

Ready to snore. Note Lego Spidey hanging from the ceiling.

[Tax-chick]

Neat-o! The red and green boards are just painted plywood sheets?

Where did you get the plans? We'll be needing a bed for Vlad, eventually; the four brothers are already in bunks.

[Peanut Gallery]

Actually, in the last picture, it was pitch black in the room, and theboy was already in it sleeping. Ahh, you gotta love flash photography.

[Professional Engineer]

create your own visited states map or check out these Google Hacks.

[Tax-chick]

You've never been to Mississippi?!

[Professional Engineer]

Yes. The horizontal sheets are 3/4" ply. The vertical pieces are 3/8", and used for shear (is structural terms) to keep the frame from wobbling.

The plan came from a book of kids bedroom ideas. Durn book is MIA in my study.

[Professional Engineer]

Glaring hole in my travels, ain't it?
