Life is a merry go round that's the way the money goes,
spending or lending it's all the same , greed just grows and grows .
After all has been said and done
we are still deep in debt ,
there's too much tax and too much talk of things that have been set .
Taxation time is for the poor the rich can't pay the fees.
Tax for this and tax for that
money hungry if you please .
In this world we come and go where we pay a tax to be ,
they would strap meters to our lungs but thank God air is free .

Reviews of "Taxation Time"

We just finished with ours here in the states, Paul. It's hard to believe that this country began as a protest to Englands taxation. A piece of property here can be taxed a dozen time in the name of something. I don't object to paying a fair share. I do object to money being wasted.
The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
