How many zeros in a billion?
sent to me by a Yank
How many zeros in a billion? This is too true to be funny. 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 press releases. 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. A billion dollars ago was only 13 hours and 12 minutes, At the rate our government is spending it. Building Permit Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Income Tax GST 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 Licence Tax Payroll Tax Property Tax Real Estate Tax Service charge taxes Capital gains Tax Social Security Tax Road Usage Tax Local Tax Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Workers Compensation Tax STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago... And our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt... We had the largest middle class in the world... And Mum stayed home to raise the kids. What happened? I hope this goes around Australia At least 100 times. What the hell happened?????

This is an unknown number of bikini clad women. Clearly more attractive than tax.

Not once the government brings in the compulsory bikini tax. I heard them talking about bikini taxing on the radio the other day, and it's supposed to hurt a lot. |
