A little boy wanted $100.00 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened .
Then
he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100.00.
When
The postal authorities received the letter to God , USA ,
they decided to send it to the President.
The president was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $ 5.00 bill.
The president thought this would appear to be a lot of money
to a little boy.
The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 bill and sat down to write a thank-you
note to God, which read:
Dear
God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that for
some reason you sent it through
Washington D..C. and those people took $95.00 in taxes.

England used to have a 95% tax bracket. Note the Beatles' song "Taxman": "Let me tell you how it will be/ That's one for you, nineteen for me/ Should five percent appear too small/ Be thankful I don't take it all"
A man's admiration for absolute government is proportionate to the contempt he feels for those around him.

I haven't heard Stevie Ray's version. I'll have to find it.
