Simple Things

   Uncle Sam now wants to know everywhere I go, and tax me for the number of miles I drive. He’s not gonna be too happy with the results from MY vehicle; I’ll be one of the lowest taxed people in the country.

     My traveling each week consists of the post office, the grocery store, sometimes all the way to WalMart, and occasionally to babysit my grandchildren. Oohhhh, I’m really going to rack up the miles (and I’m such a security risk!)

     Not only will they have trouble finding someplace on the body to stick the thing (stuff don’t stick well to rust) but they’ll have to keep it out of the way of the pedals. See, I can pedal up to 20 miles an hour on flat ground. It’s a little harder getting up the hills, but I can make it all the way to 40 goin’ downhill, and the hound dogs in the back really get a kick out of havin’ their ears blowin’ in the wind.

     That’s about how stupid our government thinks we are. It’s such a shame that the numb-skulls can’t work on something more important than finding new ways to make us pay taxes. It would be fantastic if they would concentrate on spending our money for more useful purposes.

     The “new deal” we are getting from the stimulus package is a joke.  But then, according to our congressmen, “the general public is not concerned with the details”.

     Ah, for the days of my youth, when I could drive my ‘64 Ford anywhere I wanted, on gas that was a few cents a gallon, and the only people who were concerned with my location were my parents.
