Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1174

No new taxes—on whom?

You say we are taxed enough already; you will stand for no new taxes.

But the reduction of help to the fragile elderly, or the helpless infant, or others like them who have no where else to turn, is on them and their right to live nothing but a tax.

So then upon whom do you choose to place your new taxes?

And what makes you think the culprit causing new taxes is anyone but you?

So taxes are a matter of whose ox is being gored, and you, even you, have to choose.

Please pass it on.

my hands of soap

if I rubbed them quickly?
How can I know while it’s running
down the drain?
We could count the seconds:
Time could stand for water!
But does it?

Fortunate to have not the money
to “retire”
For now the world opens to me
its secrets
And among all these “serious” things

You watchin’ the news?
So is the world gonna hold together
till mornin’?
Or is it apt to fly off
in all directions?

:- Doug.

What I don’t know
about G*d
would fill libraries
much of it
I imagine is true

One side: The government can make it better
Other: Less government is better government
See: both say the answer is government

People everlastingly complain
The food here’s lousy
Taxed enough already

:- Doug.

Giving

thing

I counsel with the elders.
