Not in my name ...
This will be short and sweet.
Been looking at the TV news tonight and it struck me that none of this shit would happen if we didn't pay tax. Well it wouldn't. Would it?
By paying tax we are giving money to fuckers like Bush and Blair and the EU, and the UN, to basically do stuff in our name that we don't agree with. Its just fucking stupid.
Without tax revenue who would George W Bush be? Some smuck with a hole in his arse pocket who could not afford to spend the Billions, upon Billions it takes to invade a foreign country and wage wars that are apparently in our interest when they are fucking not.
If we all stopped paying taxes tomorrow sure we would have no hospitals, or libraries, but millions upon millions of people could sleep safely in their beds knowing that a fleet of F16's won't be able to bomb the shit out of them because they couldn't afford the aviation fuel to put them in the air.
If we stopped paying tax there would be no money to waste of futile campaigns, no money to prop up oppressive Governments, no money to rip off the poor with.
Its tax dollars [and pounds, and euro's] that are creating the chaos around us at this present time, its tax dollars that are putting up our prices by creating fuel supply problems, and its tax dollars that are killing babies in foreign countries to pursue democracy [ie. more tax dollars paid by smucks to bankroll government objectives].
Its our money, we are paying for this, and we don't even agree with it.
The world is totally fucked up, and we are stupid enough to let it happen.

Revolution? I'm in.
How do we start?
Been on me mind since '77,
Just don't know where to begin.
In Denmark, where I is at, the tax is about 40& of your earnings..and other taxes on top. But listen: I do not use the hospitals, schools etc..or even claim dole (would rather suck cold sick through a straw than work for my dole money (you have to work for your dole here) or go scrounging for it again)...I can think of very little that I use that the taxes go to....not even the roads (cos we take the bumpy tracks) not even the bin men, who refuse to take our bins cos they don't like us, I am wracking my brains to try and think about what it is I get back for my tax payments......I'll get back to you about it if I come up with anything. They PROFIT from our slaving. I guess that sounds a bit naive..but that is what they do right? We are useful to them. And 4d - revolution begins at home. My youngsters are already well practised in arranging formal protests against us, their control freak parents. *sigh*
Sad thing is that most people can't even not pay by way of protest because most UK taxes are taken direct from payroll before you even see the money. You can't even elect not to pay anymore.
Just ordered your book from amazon. I had to pay vat, can you send me that back please?
Just note how quick the inland revenue are onto you if you dont pay tax however. They have you up in court before you can say 'arsecheese'.

You should have sent me your address by private mail and I'd have given you a free copy.
I don't want to make money out of any of this.
Books are a luxury for me... I checked the local library but they don't have your book. I had to put out a national search in order to find it. It HAS to be in some state, somewhere.
Cynnie .... is the escort car driven by an escort girl??
Funny, I was going to use that same heading for a post. I probably still will. Good post, as always, AC. Arguably tricky to carry out...
