Tax Ponderables

"Driving"

Driving to work, a gentleman had to swerve
to avoid a box that fell out of a truck in front
of him.

Seconds later, a policeman pulled him over
for reckless driving. Fortunately, another
officer had seen the carton in the road. The
policemen stopped traffic and recovered the
box. It was found to contain large upholstery
tacks.

"I'm sorry sir," the first trooper told the driver,
"but I am still going to have to write you a
ticket."

Amazed, the driver asked for what. The trooper
replied, ..."Tacks evasion."

"Tax Ponderables"

The government taxes you when you bring
home a paycheck.

It taxes you when you make a phone call.

It taxes you when you turn on a light.

It taxes you when you sell a stock.

It taxes you when you fill your car with gas.

It taxes you when you ride a plane.

It taxes you when you get married.

Then it taxes you when you die.

This is taxual insanity and it must end.
