Death and Taxes

"Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." Letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy (13 November 1789)

This famous line is attributed to Benjamin Franklin.  It is fitting to have it done on such an occasion as tax deadline day.  I will be getting mine in the mail at the deadline on Thursday afternoon.  I have plans in the evening, but I will report about this tomorrow.  So on the day that America bleeds green and black,  here are some tunes to help the medicine go down.  The first is the famous song by The Beatles "Taxman."  The next is by Pink Floyd from their reunion show from Live 8 "Money."  The next is from Dire Straits doing a live version of "Money for Nothing."    The last song is something that I found that sums it all up, and it is by a band called Death and Taxes "We Are Only In It For The Money."
