In honor of the upcoming income tax deadline, here are a few songs from our categories “Money” and “Politics:  Politics & Government”:

Death And Taxes TR Ritchie
I’m Payin’ Taxes, What Am I Buyin’ JB’s
Paycheck Man Randy Houser
Sales Tax On The Women New Lost City Ramblers
Strawman Lou Reed
Taxes On The Farmer Feeds Us All Ry Cooder
Taxman Beatles
Taxes, Taxes Hank Penny

Complaints about taxes seem to be ageless. In this list, we have songs from the Great Depression (“Sales Tax On The Women”), songs spurred by high tax rates in the second half of the 20th century (“Taxman”) and more recent complaints about working overtime just to pay Uncle Sam (“Paycheck Man”).  On the political side, there are concerns not only about paying taxes, but also what the government does with our money (“”I’m Payin’ Taxes, What Am I Buyin’”). Only TR Ritchie has a positive spin: His woman can count on his love as surely as she can count on death and taxes!
