ameriKa is, at its essence, tax-deadly

Much is said and posited of exactly what ameriKa is. We used to be a proudly self-disciplined republic. Now we're told we're a democracy, a word which has always struck my eardrums with a shudder of suspiciousness. One thing is for sure, one of the USA's main constants is vicious adherence to inhuman, bizarre modes of taxation.

Taxes are only supposed to exist at the pleasure of the taxed -- government by consent of the governed. Nowadays the citizen exists solely as a cog in the politicians' machine of self-aggrandizement. Taxes aren't studied and monitored by a responsible body politic -- the sheeple are universally terrified of the tax-rats, who operate at their own whim, backed up with the full force of government and police.

Most people just pay the goons whatever they're told to and consider themselves lucky if that's as far as it goes for them. But increasing thousands of people are victims of genuine tax terror and sadism. To be terrified of government is one thing -- to be terrorized by it is another! Those who accept the former lose all dignity if they put up with the latter, but put up with it they do, even when they see their fellow citizens being crushed by the caprices of the tax-beast.

Here's  one tax atrocity that made the headlines and drew some public sympathy -- but the sacrificial victim is among the lucky extreme few to have done so. Thousands of others are as mere stray cats left out in the cold of public indifference piled on government persecution.

Former homeless man loses benefits for failing to report $850 found on sidewalk

Dear me, I hope my low opinion of our species isn't showing through! I do applaud us for coming through when we do, it's just light years from where we should be and many leagues from where we once were. Oh -- this happens to be the URL I overrode to get another look at the above link:

It only worked for me in the Google Chrome web browser this evening.
