<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear John,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ahhh, but John, this is TAXATION
</FONT><STRONG><EM><U>WITH </U></EM></STRONG>REPRESENTATION! The rebellion
against King George was against TAXATION <STRONG><EM><U>WITHOUT
</U></EM></STRONG>REPRESENTATION.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Never mind that the British Tea and Stamp Taxes were "only" a measly
1.5%, and that today's current tax structure runs in the "low" 43%
range. We have representation in Washington, DC to fight for our
rights, don't we?? (snicker snicker, snort snort) After all, our
elected officials are out there writing big juicy laws for our protection,
aren't they?? (snicker snicker guffaw chortle) It's too bad that we
poor, snivelling, carcase-eating buzzards haven't got a clue as to what they
really do to us, putting DDT in our food supply and all that, and then
shipping our taxidermied skins off to Israel. But, really, can our
poor, dead cadavers pay taxes to some foreign power??</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is all the more reason to become a monk, John. At
least the $250.00 or so per month stipend is tax-free. Besides that,
it means we won't penetrate some welfare-bilking vulva which can call
"911" and have us hauled off to jail every time she has a
snit-fit. Really, I urge Christian Men on these forae to consider a
Monastic Vocation, even if only to retreat to a Monastery for a
while. The experience is very refreshing and enlightening. It sure
beats some whiny woman, anyway. But please, if you do go, go to
serve God, and you'll really go for the right reason.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

how different the jewish mind and the Christian mind<BR>> "work".<BR>>
<BR>> When our Christian Founding Forefathers rebelled against King George
because<BR>> of the high tax rate, the taxes were 1 1/2%, and they considered
a rebellion<BR>> against such a high tax to be justified.<BR>> <BR>>
They threw the "Boston Tea Party" and went to war against the greatest
power<BR>> on Earth because of a 1 1/2% tax.<BR>> <BR>> What do you
think their reaction would be if they found out that WE,<BR>> ourselves (with
a little help from you STUPID jews), now have a 43% tax<BR>> rate?<BR>>
<BR>> If anything, the least they would believe is that our "own" tax rate
was 28<BR>> times as egregious, worthy of 28 times as much rebellion, 28
times more<BR>> treacherous.<BR>> <BR>> There's no way for a "meeting
of the minds", Holzman. You jews are a<BR>> completely pathetic breed
of losers and beggars and whiners. Your precious<BR>> "jews" in
"Israel" would be Muslim lunchmeat tomorrow if we cut the money<BR>> pipeline
to Jerusalem today. You're the biggest welfare scammers in world<BR>>
history.<BR>> <BR>> John Knight<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
