Stop complaining about paying taxes

At last - no taxes!

The solution for those of you who hate to pay taxes, are saddened by government's misuse of tax money, and anyone else who will read my letter: Please, right now, move to some remote village in Africa. You'll find:

Bridges: You can skip across the rivers on the backs of crocodiles (like Dora the Explorer) or you can swing across on a vine like Tarzan.

Defense: When the head hunters attack, use your machete to save your family.

Highways and roads: If you choose to visit friends, use the same machete to hack your way through the jungle.

Health care: When you or your loved ones are ill, a witch doctor will treat you (check the office walls to be sure of his credentials).

Geriatric care: Place the elderly on a block of ice as a feast for the polar bears. But wait, we're in Africa - a lion will suffice.

Education: Quickly learn the local language, in order to understand how to hunt, fish, grow crops, and defend yourself.

Finally, we know this list can go on and on. So, let's finish with these six words.

Be happy and pay your taxes.
