A ‘Tax Day’ Poem
Ollie Wendell Holmes once said
‘Bout taxes in this nation,
They are the price we gotta pay
To have civilization.
But recently I’m thinking
That this rule we should relax,
’Cause I’d rather not be civilized
Than pay my income tax.
The money sinks of public ed,
The vet and welfare rolls,
The subsidies for geezer health,
Who needs these wasteful doles
Our streets would have no pot holes
If we made them all toll roads,
The market would go through the roof
Without dull legal codes.
To keep our armies solvent
We could send our soldiers plundering.
No revenue means Congress
Won’t in spending be a’blundering.
Who needs a taxing commonwealth?
For too long we’ve been scammed.
We’ll each care for the things we like,
All other things be damned!

Well done!
On behalf of all those old geezers (all of them someone's father or mother, or grandparent) who would now be dead geezers, or very sick geezers, if we were not “civilized”.
Of course, this doesn't apply to those fortunate enough to being able to take care of their parents' golden–and ailing–years without any government assistance.
The life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
I agree that paying taxes is the price of civilized society.
However I think people would be less upset with paying taxes if we did not see so much waste mucking up the good.
USA Tax Day Tea Party
Come one, come all; your future fate is at hand.
USA tax day tea party; all across this wonderful land.
Politicians spend your money and more, every single day.
Their pork thing is important; it keeps them rolling in hay.
They drive in limos and wear bling; take kickbacks and live high.
They never have to ride in a bus; or see their savings go bye bye.
So come out and protest, one time to remind them of our clout.
They work for us, but they forgot; its time to march and shout.
Wave a sign, be there today, chant some words; its important can't you see?
Put the politicians out to pasture; throw the tea in the bay.
Get off that couch; don't stick you head in the sand.
Take back your country, its your right; make a stand for our American land.
