A billion

The next time you hear a politician use the word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases. Absorb every detail of what follows:

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E. BUT at the rate our government is spending it a billion UK Pounds ago was ONLY 13 HOURS AND 12 MINUTES.


Let’s consider Taxes:

Building Permit Tax, Cigarette Tax, Corporate Income Tax, Income Tax, Unemployment Tax, Fishing License Tax, Food License Tax, Fuel Permit Tax, Petrol/Diesel Tax, Hunting License Tax, Inheritance Tax, Inventory Tax (tax on top of tax), Liquor Tax, Luxury Tax, Marriage License Tax, Property Tax, Real Estate Tax, Service charge taxes, Social Security Tax, Road Usage Tax, Local Tax, Vehicle License Registration Tax, Vehicle Sales Tax, Workers Compensation Tax, Value Added Tax, Pension Tax

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago… And our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.

What happened ? Politicians.
