too bad Prime Ministers and Parliaments and congresses, etc. don't have to study traditional music...they might get an education about how the 'masses' have viewed their taxes, laws & such...dont most of 'us' know:

"Come one and all, both great and small
With voices loud & clear
And lets us sing 'Bless Billy the King',
Who 'bated the tax upon beer."

(it doesn't seem to be in the database...will post the rest if appropriate)

oh...old joke...
MP..(or congressman)giving speech..."Gentlemen, let me tax your memories.."
whereupon, one member leans over and whispers to another, "Good heavens, why haven't we thought of that before!"
