Re: How many zeros in a billion?

oh dear WT what are you talking about? i thought that you for one would have realised i was remarking about your 'post' reference taxation.
back in those days of the "boston tea party" britain was given the BOOT from your lovely country for trying to raise taxes to pay for whatever was needed nationally, and quite rightly so because your people (some were british) wished to deal with their own affairs, which they did. britain (king george 111) was packed off back to their own country, and rightly too.
no, the bloody irony is that your government has become worse than ours (that takes some doing, lol) and tax you lovely people for whatever comes to mind to pay for and whatever they choose to think up next.
my message to you is welcome back once more to the 'boston tea party', very 'taxing' isn't it?
ps, it must be nice spending other people's hard earnt cash as one wishes. lol.
oh yer, in respect of cousins, this might be more apt:-
