Teach your kids about taxes this halloween

I received this in my email. I didn't right it, but I thought some here might enjoy reading it.
-----------------------------------------------
This Halloween, teach your children a lesson about how government works. When they come home from trick or treating, take all their candy before they even look at it.

Take 25 percent of it to show them what income tax is like.

Remove another 5 percent to show them what unemployment insurance is like.

Remove another 5 percent to show them what Medicare is like.

Then remove another 15 percent of the candy to show them what social security is like. (Tell them you will give that back to them when they turn 68)

With what is left, encourage them to give 10 percent to their church friends.

After all the redistribution is over, convince them to thank you for preventing all the tooth decay that may have happened had they been allowed all their candy.
----------------------------------
I would add to that list. After you give them their share of their candy after taxes have been removed, eat the entire pile of the tax candy in front of them.

They will understand government in a very real way then.
