re: Is There Anything They Won’t Tax?

Jack: I prefer the Beatles, in “Taxman”:

If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street 

If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat 

If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat 

If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet …

Now my advice for those who die 

Declare the pennies on your eyes 

’Cos I’m the taxman 

Yeah, I’m the taxman 

And you’re working for no one but me
