TAXMAN (1966)

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
’cause I’m the taxman,
yeah, I’m the taxman

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
’cause I’m the taxman,
yeah, I’m the taxman

If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet
Taxman

‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman

Don’t ask me what I want it for (ha ha Mr. Wilson)
If you don’t want to pay some more (ha ha Mr. Heath)
’cause I’m the taxman,
yeah, I’m the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
’cause I’m the taxman,
yeah, I’m the taxman
And you’re working for no one but me

What form of government is it that has no home ownership? A major revolt is needed there. You may be next if you all don't demand property tax elimination. Local reform, they will be forced to do it, as opposed to what we have now-no accountability. To actually think that there are those that think this is right and a good idea.

I think it's unconsciounable to ask formerly productive elderly taxpayers to contribute beyond volunteer work that should be contributed by all adult citizens. If more tax revenue's needed, let's first tackle other inequities and loopholes in tax systems, irresponsible citizen behavior incentivized by government entitlements, and elimination of benefits beyond emergency medical for non-citizens.

The power to tax is the power to destroy. That sounds particularly harsh, but all taxes involve working for the government to a certain degree. The power to tax is the power to destroy.
