How many zeros in a billion?
Place this post on your 
profile.
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 it’s 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 Pounds ago was only
13 hours and 12 minutes,
At the rate our government
Is spending it.
Building Permit Tax
Cigarette Tax
Value Added Tax
Corporate Income Tax
Income Tax
Fishing License Tax
Food License Tax
Fuel Permit Tax
Petrol/Diesel Tax
Inheritance Tax
Inventory Tax
(tax on top of tax)
Alcohol Tax
Luxury Tax
Marriage License Tax
Property Tax
Stamp Duty Tax
Service charge taxes

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?
Can you spell ‘politicians!’
I hope this goes around the
UK
At least 100 times
What the hell happened?????
Gordon Brown !!!
