We all know about how taxes work, right? The government gets a little each payday, and we get a little back at the end of the year. Well, let me rephrase that... some people get a little back at the end of the year. For others, they fall under the right bracket and have to pay in. And then there are those select few who fail to pay in and get in big trouble. So where's the humor?
Take our family for instance. Because of school and limited on the time I had, I only earned a whopping six grand last year. But I do not fear the lowly Tax service because I know I'll get some back. I'm, needless to say, EAGER to file my taxes. Broke, and wanting to file taxes? WTF?!? Now, on the flip side. Fat-walleted CEO's and V.P.'s of the industry, marketing geniuses and the like, are so secure in their financial world, they dread filing taxes. Why? Because they made too much and are getting socked in the wallet. They have everything they could possibly want for, with the exception of a world where taxes aren't collected. The greed that has corrupted their lives require them to hoard their earnings, savings, and the lot, to make even more. I'm ok with making more... but not at the cost of making other's suffer.
Those same people who are dreading paying taxes are the same people who do not want government health care, social security policies re-vamped, or public school funding. No, those people would rather the poor just die off the face of the earth than to spread a little wealth for those less fortunate. And before you bash, many people, many poor people would give the shirt off their back if it meant keeping someone warm... The rich or well off people would rather you just go shirtless, freeze to death and end up in some pine box six feet below the earth's surface. No, that is too costly, just burn them and be done with it. Their "I am better than thou" attitude has cast a shadow across the Nation and caused a deep sense of hatred and anger towards everyone in the industry, from the manufacturers of medication to the manufacturers of toilet paper... Why toilet paper? Because the rolls say double, but they aren't really. The rolls are shorter in width and the cardboard roll is bigger in radius. Don't believe me, go buy two different brands of tp. Guarantee you it is different in the length of the cardboard as well as the radius. (I'm a frugal mother who notices when tp doesn't last as long as it used to).
One of my friends is making her own laundry detergent and paying roughly 8 cents a load vs. buying commercial products. I'm going to do that, too! And the fact that fabric softener sheets can be reused (1 sheet for 2 loads or cut your sheet in half) to save a lil more. And you're not done with it even then. Used dryer sheets work great for removing soap scum off your shower doors. Running the dishwasher one time a day or even not using it at all. We folks know the value of a dollar and cherish each and every penny in it... Tax haters only hate it because they can't keep it for themselves to spend on frivolous items they use to increase their social status. Bah to those who hoard money and bah to those who want the poor to die out. And yay to the IRS... Sock it to them. Because one day, I will be making the big bucks and I will be ever so happy to pay my share.
Until tomorrow,
