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.
