Critique of Taxation and Labor
Proof we are all being played.
I get up at four forty-five in the morning, and I don't see a sign of the
government anywhere.
Every single day for eight and a half hours,
I exchange my time for labor.
I don't see the government anywhere,
except for on Thursdays. Thursdays, I get my paycheck.
That's when the government shows up.
That's when they feel they are entitled to split half of the currency
I made for
trading my time,
my skills, my labor.
This goes on throughout the year, where I'm responsible to keep records of
all of
this.
At the end of the year, it's my responsibility to prepare all
that documentation
for them to review it. They then determine if their cut
was large enough.
If I don't meet their schedule, I face fines, fees,
or the threat of being locked up in one of their cells.
I guess some people call this taxation,
but it doesn't meet my definition.
To me, that sounds a lot more like fraud, embezzlement, and fucking
slavery.
I think it's long past due that we all stop participating in this.
