Taxes, Are Too Damn High

Jimmy McMillan's TOO DAMN HIGH slogan has been spread to other complaints, especially taxes.
But it's not a new sentiment, some people felt that way in 1924.

Again in 1932, the cry went up from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.

Unemployment in Switzerland went up by 100% in Sept 2012 compared with 2011.

Actually, I think it was the same guy. They cut his hours back in 2011, so he was only part time. In 2012, he became the victim of mass Swiss layoffs and lost his job completely. This happened because the Swiss have universal health care as mandated by the Swiss government in response to a popular vote of the Swiss people in each Canton (Swiss for "state.") See, what happens? Give 'em an inch and they take the Alps.
