I did not plan to publish anything today, but unfortunately I started thinking about taxes. It is very complicated I know, but to me it seems set up to make the consumer, that is all of us ordinary people, pay the brunt of it. When there is a deficit, and the debt ceiling looms, more money is created out of nothing, then added to the money supply, creating inflation, and now we pay more for everything while we still pay taxes, more taxes now because prices are higher and they collect a percentage! A huge part of our taxes is used to pay the interest on the printed money, this year that amount is more than the national defense budget! Something stinks in Washington, and it does not smell like money, but rather shit for brains.

Why do we pay so many different taxes?
Those that collect does not do me any favors,
I still pay dearly for all that I access
while these liars claim a large part of my labors.

When they need a pile of money
they simply print lots more paper,
then use this for foreign wars and weaponry
just for us to pay the interest later.

Can't they just allow me to keep and use
that which I earn with so much effort,
and keep on creating funds to infuse
so we can have life with a little bit of comfort?

If you can create money out of thin air
taking that which I slave for seems unfair.
Maybe our leaders must learn to budget
so that none of us becomes an IRS target!
