Chub pickin'

[me]

A friend of ours who lives out of town got enough of that wood flooring and the pad that goes under it to do 3 rooms in his house and it all matched.  He goes to new construction sites and the contractors have thrown it away because it was left over from jobs.  What a waste.  A couple of years ago he got a brand new still in the box 16ft garage door because it had a little ding in it you could barely see, they just gave it to him.  When he see's a lawn mower someone has set out for the trash he picks them up too and usually it's something as simple as it's out of oil or needs a spark plug and he's gotten some pretty new ones.  He fixes them and then sells them.  He's even picked up riding lawn mowers that way.  The owners couldn't get them to start and they don't bother to fix them they just go buy a new one...

I need to find one of those people who will buy old lawn mowers.  I have one and a gas weed eater too that I need to get rid of.

Friggin punks are killing the golden goose!

I was readin' something about a tax for taxing the miles we travel.

Let me find the link....

You know what, this is bull excrement! They need to plug the loopholes for the major oil companies, force them to pay their fair share and stop fleecing those of us that have to commute to what few jobs remain!

I wonder how hard it'd be to "lease" my pick up to a trucking company (on the sly) just to obtain the friggin DOT number that will allow me to purchase diesel without taxation?

Yeah.... we need higher prices.

That sounds about right.  Next, we'll have to pay taxes every time we take a Ducer!!!

Well just like everything else, that will be more hurtful to some than others!!

Kind of reminds me of this song:

Let me tell you how it will be;
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.

Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all.
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.

(if you drive a car, car;) - I'll tax the street;
(if you try to sit, sit;) - I'll tax your seat;
(if you get too cold, cold;) - I'll tax the heat;
(if you take a walk, walk;) - I'll tax your feet.

Taxman!

'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.

Don't ask me what I want it for, (ah-ah, mister Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more. (ah-ah, mister heath)
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.

Now my advice for those who die, (taxman)
Declare the pennies on your eyes. (taxman)
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.

And you're working for no one but me.

Taxman!
