Wake Up

Every year when April 15th approaches, the mindless W2-receiving masses start eagerly planning how they’re going to spend their refund. Bring up the subject of the IRS, and their faces will actually brighten as they tell you what they’re going to do with their “gift” from Uncle Sam. A full 70% of Americans are expecting a refund from the IRS this year. This is no accident. This isn’t a simple case of “oops, we took $3.43 too much, here you go!” It is intentional, it is malevolent, and the majority of Americans have been conditioned to like it.
Average W2-receiving Americans have been trained to quietly accept excessive taxation. If you ask them how much money they made last week, they’ll gladly report the amount that went into their bank account, after taxes and Medicare and Social Security and FICA and whatever other slice of gradual Marxism that has been smuggled in by the big-government Republicans and big-government Democrats that perpetually fail to represent their constituents’ best interests, but keep getting elected regardless. This average W2-er doesn’t miss the huge chunk of his or her hard-earned money that has been silently carried off to run Washington D.C. for 2 nanoseconds or fight the war in Iraq for 1.2 microseconds because they’ve forgotten that it was ever theirs at all. Go ahead and ask one of these people how much they’re paying in taxes this year. And if they smile and tell you that they’re actually getting money this year… punch them. Yeah… you heard me. Punch them. Right in their fucking face. Break their nose and their jaw (if you can). Then take them to the hospital, and offer to pay them enough money to have 25% of their injuries treated. Ask them what they’re planning on doing with their face-breaking refund this year.
Everyone in America should spend a year being self-employed. My God, there would be another revolution! When you’re self-employed, the government can’t hide its violations. They don’t get to silently take your money before you see it, or “accidentally” take too much and then fool you into eagerly anticipating the return of your money back to you. When you’re self-employed, you get to see exactly how hard the government is screwing you… so vividly you could probably feel the hot breath on the back of your neck if you closed your eyes. If everyone in America spent a year being self employed, everyone would taste the full strength of the bitter pill that they are normally made to inhale gradually, and maybe, just maybe, people would wake up.
