Isn't that what they call sales tax now?

But I just paid sales tax on a used trailer, I pay sales tax on dead 
Sprites that were sold BEFORE sales tax was thought up in this state.
And not being the first buyer, several have paid sales tax on this used car.
I was in  a barter system for a very brief while, we were supposed to 
pay taxes on the services we received via the barter system.

Private party... I just received my flier for Spring Englishtown,
It states that ALL venders "should" collect sales tax. And that is on 
old used auto parts which have had sales tax paid on them 4, 5, 6 times 
or more.

As my Dad keeps saying....1967.
he could afford his property tax here in NJ
We had no sales tax but a "temporary 3% sales tax was on the horizon. 
(temporary because it went to 5, 6, now 7%)
No income tax, no lottery money for the State, and no Casino revenue.
Yet we managed and lived well in a water front custom built house with a 
new Chevy wagon, his decent TR3, 1 cabin cruiser boat, 1 new outboard 
speed boat, I had a row boat with an outboard motor and my brother had a 
sail boat. We all had new bicycles and shoes on our feet.
Mom never worked, Dad made $235 a week and there were 5 kids, 1 was a 
new born and I was 12 (the oldest)
I can tell you where it all went wrong.
Lydon Baines Johnson (D) decided to start handing out money to people 
who did not work so us stupid people with jobs have to pay more and more 
for those who choose not to work.
And now Obummer (D) is giving those same 4th generation handout 
receivers free cell phones but you and I, because we choose to work, 
have to buy our own cell phones.
But there is nothing wrong with this picture. I can bitch about it all I 
want but what I should do is just stop working and ask for my free cell 
phone, hell I can even keep my same number!
And get a rent check, food stamps and spending cash just for staying 
home and watching Oprah on my jumbo high def flat screen.
So WHO is the stupid one?
I am, and so are you if you have a job.
