Well it’s tax day in the great blood-stained state of the USA again. The American people, the majority of whom have proved themselves to be as dumb as mules or oxes over the last five years — no offense to our fine furred friends — will stand in lines by the thousands to hand over great gobs of their own money to their “government” tomorrow. The world community has watched the United States government, if you can call it that at this point, spend more than half a trillion of the American people’s hard earned dollars on invading another country half way around the globe for a whole roster of reasons that turned out to be “lies” (900 plus at last count) by various “intelligence agencies,” at least so says the “White House” and yet they continue to occupy the other country, having killed now what some estimate between one to two million of the Iraqi people in what many are now calling the most atrocious mass gencoide since, well, the same damn thing they did to Vietnam thirty-years ago.

Meanwhile the Americans continue to lose their homes by the tens of thousands each day while their government continues to bankrupt their economy in the greatest economic downturn in American history, the value of their once all-powerful dollar now worth less than it’s ever been in the world community as foreign investors and other countries continue to sell it as fast as possible. Nothing new – the same news as yesterday unfortunately for the sad lot of poor old Yanks. The only thing that makes it newsworthy is that tomorrow is the last day that all three-hundred million of them have to gleefully hand over thier hard earned bread so the war-mongering theives and hatchetmen that invaded their own country seven years ago can continue to bring the once great state down to its knees in what promises to be one hell of a show. The degradation and destruction of America which started some say almost forty years ago as with all empires will not be one giant explosion but a slow erosion that most will miss. It is only now that the Americans themselves are starting to see it as the rest of the world celebrates their great fortune around them they continue to drown in one quagmire after another and can’t figure out how to get out of this mess, all but a few of them remembering that they are a democracy after all and can always vote to boot the whole lot of them in the White House at any time if they were in the right mind to. Problem is the Americans are so damn busy watching their dumbass not-funny tv that most of them are missing the biggest show on earth — the slow crumbling and collapse of the biggest empire on the planet in modern times. And they’re starring it. Poor slobs.

Americans are some of the last people on earth who should be paying their government any taxes on their incomes at this point with how run amok things have been for the poor bastards lately. No matter how hard they try they cannot get their government to tell them why they went to Iraq, are still in Iraq, or when they are getting out if ever and what’s worse, polls show that the majority of the American people don’t even want their country to be in Iraq at all, and yet as that sallow and pitiable clown of a president they have continues to wave the banner of “democracy” around the world in that clumsy annoying backwoods southern drawl of his like a braindead three year old, the American people themselves can’t seem to actually do anything “democratic” to get themselves out of Iraq or any of their other messes. And yet tomorrow the United States government will collect billions upon billions of dollars from this same group of disgruntled Americans who claim to be so uptight and upset about the sorry state of affairs in thier once great state. Doesn’t make much sense on these shores over here that’s for sure. But that Simon Cowell is still one funny bastard. What’s that ya say? Oh yeah, he’s a Brit. Sorry ’bout that. Ok so the Americans indeed are truly fucked afterall.

And now an important news break — an announcement from the son of the former president of the United States 

“Dear Fellow Americans. We know the rest of the world must be laughing at and crying for us at the same time. Tax day is upon us. And though we’re now the only country in the “civilized world” that doesn’t have enough money for health care, and we don’t have enough money for “good schools” or “good edumacation,” and we don’t have enough money to ”get us out of this economic crisis that we’re in,” and God bless ya for believing us (he laughs here), WE HAVE FIVE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS!!!! DADDY TOLD ME SO! WE BORROWED IT FROM THE SAUDIS AND FROM CHINA. EVIDENTLY THAT’S WHY WE DON’T CARE THAT THE CHINESE ARE KILLING ALL THOSE TIBETAN PEOPLES. Well i never met any Tibetan people so i guess it don’t matter that much to you and me anyway…. But the good news is WE HAVE FIVE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS!!! AND GUESS WHAT WE’RE GONNA DO WITH IT? Feed the hungry? House the homeless? Improve education? Improve medical sciences? Increase spending on environmental science to prevent global crises? Hell no! What are you some kind of a morons? (O.K. well some of you did actually vote for me, G.W. so we know the answer to that one… “Ma can you believe some of those people really did vote for me? For real?” “Yes Georgie Boy. Your father says a few of them actually did. And you make us real proud by that son. Real proud. Now go back to your blog while your father continues his meeting with Osama.”) So what was I saying there???? Oh yeah, so you know what we’re gonna do with all that money you guys give us for taxes? We’re gonna blow the hell out of some other country, you know that one.. “Iraq” (i know, you don’t know anything about it, and never heard of it till we told you about it) and then after we blow it all up and kill most of fhe people there, we’re gonna spend more of your money to rebuild it.”

“Why? Well why didn’t you ask why five years ago you big dummies? It’s too late to ask “why” now. So shut up, pay your taxes like we tell you to so we can keep on with our killing. And for God’s sake shut the hell up about “your constitutional rights.” Those days are long gone. (in case you haven’t noticed.) Yours truly, Uncle Sam, Big Bad Bushy, Mean DickHead Cheney, and Condi “Don’t mind me, I’m just that scowling whore in the corner that does whatever those two jugheads ask me to do” Rice “I made that one up myself. I hope Condi doesn’t get too mad at me for it.”

“PS — Just because we are your “elected officials” and thus are your “employees” and in effect “work for you,” don’t get any ideas about telling us ”what to do” or “firing us.” I think you have figured that out by now. Those days are over. Happy tax day you morons! And thanks for voting me in!” 

And Yet All is Not Lost…

Dear Friend of United for Peace and Justice,

Tomorrow is Tax Day! People all around the country will be calling attention to how our tax dollars are used, and making the connection between our country’s current financial troubles and the more than $505 billion that has already been spent on the occupation of Iraq.

Ideas for taking action and educating others on April 15th:

• Hand out leaflets making the connections between the war and our growing economic crisis here at home. (See below for resources.) You can distribute this material at your local post office, at busy transportation hubs during rush hour, and in other locations where you can talk with people, including where you work or go to school.
  
• Sign our open letter to Rep. John Murtha, and encourage others to do so as well.
  
• Call in to local radio talk shows, or write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper.
• Call your representatives and your senators in Congress and urge them to use their power to bring all of the troops home!

Resources you can use, created by UFPJ and a few of our member groups:

1) The War Resisters League’s federal pie chart illustrates how much of our tax dollars really go toward military spending.3) This new UFPJ leaflet urges people to pressure Congress to stop funding the war! The leaflet has a box for you to add local contact information — just click inside that box and type. 4) “Healthcare Not Warfare” is a new campaign initiated by PDA.5) The National Priorities Project’s website has up-to-date breakdowns of what the war in Iraq is costing your state and your community!And if you’re receiving a refund this year, please consider dedicating some or all of it to peace!

Yours, for peace and justice,
