In light of ObamaCare and the IRS' most recent legal attack on tax preparers, those private citizens who help the rest of us working slobs legally avoid paying more than our "fair" share of taxes, I dedicate my twist on Pastor Martin Niemoller's 1939 poem:
First they came for the Doctors
and I did not speak out--because I was not a doctor.
Then they came for the Tax Preparers
and I did not speak out--because I was not a tax preparer.
Then they came for the Lawyers
and I did not speak out--because I was not a Lawyer.
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
spent eight and one-half years in a Nazi concentration camp. In 1939, he penned this widely quoted poem:
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out--because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out--because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out--because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
and I did not speak out--because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out--because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out--because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
