Ray Stevens On Taxes
Y'know, as an agnostic I shouldn't even touch this, but I misdoubt any degree of official piety would induce our public servants to reduce their cut of our income to ten percent.
Ya'know, I'm told that one proposed version of the Constitutional Amendment that gave us the income tax had a maximum of 10% (or maybe 15%) written into it.
Strange, the one we ended up with had no such limitation.

Can you imagine what lives we'd lead ... if the max tax rate ... here in the Great White North or in the US of A ... was only 10 percent?
Can you imagine?
