barkwindjammer Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 how many zeros are there in a billion ? A Billion Pounds means nothing unless you can relate it to something we can understand better. I hope this helps you to understand what a mess our government has got us into. Thank you Mr Darling!! How many zeros in a billion? This is too true to be funny. The next time you hear a politician use the Word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about Whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, But one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of it's releases. A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959. B.. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.. E. A billion Pounds ago was only 13 hours and 12 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it. Building Permit Tax / Cigarette Tax / Corporate TAX / Income Tax / Unemployment Tax / Fishing License Tax Food tax / Fuel Tax / Petrol/Diesel Tax / Inheritance Tax / Capital Gains Tax / (tax on top of tax) / Alcohol Tax Marriage License Tax / Property Sales Tax / Local Rates Tax / Service Charge Taxes / Social Security/NI Tax Television Licence Tax / Road fund Tax / Car Parking Tax / Vehicle License Registration Tax / Vehicle Sales Tax / Value Added Tax??? - Tax Tax Tax on Tax STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago...and our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt... We had the largest middle class in the world... And Mum stayed home to raise the kids. What the hell happened???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
