THEIR TAX BROKE OUR BACKS -- a poem and song by Bill Kochman 

#Poetry #Poem THEIR TAX BROKE OUR BACKS by Bill Kochman 10-24-2025 I'm really sick of all their taxes, Yeah, those G-men with their axes. Take a cut here, another one there, Man, I so want to pull out my hair! What really gives them their right, There's no way you can even fight. If paying your taxes you ever fail, Just like that you wind up in jail. The rich live well, we all know why, Constantly robbing the little guy. We work so hard just to get our pay, But then a huge chunk is taken away. Dare complain, a patriot you're not, Don't you get mad at all their rot? Just like that half my check is gone, Makes me feel just like their pawn. They say our money funds public works, But I don't trust those G-men jerks. I need to see proof with my own eyes, Because I am tired of all their lies. Many roads and bridges in disrepair, But the rich dudes don't really care. The water mains still made with lead, Just look at all those folks now dead. Sure, we escaped from old King George, Yet on our dollars, elite still gorge. Maybe that old master we did switch, But new one's still got a greedy itch. Thus from dawn to dusk we all do sweat, But where your money goes don't forget. In their high towers they sit and dine, But like a prodigal we sit with swine.

How Democrats’ Gun Control Plans Would Wreck Wildlife Conservation

Democrats, like most Americans, are likely unaware that the bulk of wildlife conservation funding in this country comes from a healthy firearms industry.

Almost $1 billion each year goes to state wildlife and natural resource agencies courtesy of checks written by firearms, ammunition, and related manufacturers. It is the result of an 11 percent excise tax on firearms, ammunition, and related goods known as Pittman-Robertson, or the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937.

The act was originally proposed by the firearms industry and supported by conservation groups like the National Wildlife Federation. It was bipartisan. It allowed states to marshal resources needed to recover dwindling populations of animals like white tail deer, elk, turkeys, and others. Because much of the success benefited hunters, there is a false assumption: they “pay the bill” in generating the tax. While it was mostly true in 1937, now it’s mostly not.

Today, roughly 80 percent of this firearms and ammunition tax comes from non-hunters. How’s that? We all hear left of center politicians and even “moderates” tying gun ownership and use to hunting. “I am a hunter” and “you don’t need that for hunting” are popular catchphrases of politicians endorsing certain gun, ammunition, and magazine bans.

They miss the target. What they don’t understand are the demographics of today’s gun ownership. Even as hunting‘s popularity is slowly declining, sport and practical shooting are way up. By sheer numbers, more people in America are shooting now than ever, although less are hunting.

The fact is, law abiding gunowners and their so-called “assault weapons” contribute more money annually to conservation than the Sierra Club, Humane Society, Natural Resources Defense Council, Environmental Defense Fund, and the National Audubon Society combined. It’s not even close.

Excise tax is an indirect tax applied to specific goods and services, ensuring that products with potential health or environmental impact contribute their fair share of taxation. In the UAE, excise tax is commonly levied on items such as tobacco, carbonated drinks, energy drinks, and electronic smoking devices.

From 2026, sweetened beverages in the UAE are taxed under a sugar-based tiered volumetric model, where the excise payable per litre depends on the drink's sugar content, while energy drinks and some other categories remain under separate, higher rates.

FTA Decision No. 10 of 2025: Standardised Sugar Calculation for Sweetened Drink Concentrates | RVG

As regulation of sweetened drinks continues to evolve under the UAE Excise Tax regime, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has issued Decision No. 10 of 2025, introducing a standardised mechanism for calculating the percentage of sugar and other sweeteners in certain concentrated products. The Decision will take effect from 1 January 2026.

Scope of the Decision

The Decision applies to concentrates, powders, gels, and extracts that can be converted into sweetened drinks, specifically where no reliable guidelines exist or where existing guidance on sugar content has proven inaccurate. Its primary objective is to ensure correct excise tax classification based on actual sugar and sweetener content.

Standard Calculation Mechanism

To determine the applicable excise tax category, taxable persons must obtain a laboratory report from an accredited laboratory specifying the total quantity of sugar and other sweeteners per unit of the concentrated product. Based on this data, the final drink volume is calculated using a standard formula prescribed by the FTA, followed by determination of the dilution ratio. This approach ensures consistency and transparency in excise tax assessments.

Key Exclusions

The mechanism does not apply to:

Liquid concentrates containing less than 5 grams of sugar per 100 ml, which fall under the Low-Sugar Category; or

Products containing only artificial sweeteners, as confirmed by laboratory analysis.

What Businesses Should Consider

FTA Decision No. 10 of 2025 provides much-needed clarity for businesses dealing in sweetened drink concentrates. Companies should review product formulations, laboratory testing procedures, and internal compliance systems well before 1 January 2026 to avoid misclassification and potential penalties.

For expert guidance on excise tax compliance and product classification, RVG is well-positioned to support businesses in navigating the upcoming changes.
