Death or Taxes, Whichever Comes First

    Here's what my uncle Bill said to me about taxes once. "I think of it as the rent or mortgage on the roads and libraries. You just think about it that way and it works in your favor. It's better for everyone if you just pay them, lots of people need help, including us, and taxes give back way more than they take in the long run."
 Maybe that isn't verbatim, but it's close.
    Bill worked for the Patriot Ledger, out of Quincy, Mass, he was an editor. He was my fathers little brother and we had a secret. We both knew he was hip,anti war, open minded and friendly. Not common characteristics in the family I belong to. Especially back then
  I respected him so I listened whenever he told me something about something. He was big on the "Food For Thought" issue. 
    I've gone around and around with the tax thing. I owned and ran a business for a long time. Once I didn't file or even consider filing a tax return for five years. When I finally gave up on tax dodging I went down to the federal building and asked the lady at the IRS counter how I could squirm out of the mess I imagined I was in. She hooked me up with an agent, a rev-en-oo-er, and he got me a grand from the feds and eight hundred and forty something from the state of California. He was a cool guy. 
 I said to myself I said, "Fuck the library. Hooray for me and fuck the Department. of Transportation and all their little speed bumps too. IT'S MY MONEY."
 Then, four years later, the reality and seriousness of the damage done to my spine and my hands by beating myself up being a plumber for thirty years ended my use of my back or hands for working days, I had Social Security and Medicare, which I  had paid for. In my thirty five years of working, a lot of money had been put into that account by me.
       I don't get a lot, in fact if Jess and I were'nt hooked up and in it together, I would maybe be a homeless or, very close to it , poor ass old motherfucker. Plus disabled. Old, broke, alone and disabled motherfuckers have a miserable time of it if they get stuck outside, in the street.
 If you don't believe me, just ask one. It's easy to find them, there are a lot of them and plus we'll have about fifty million more pretty quick. You know what really sucks? What they're suffering ,most of the personal misery economic index that the bone butts are inflicting on us, we didn't do anything to deserve it. The bone butts did but they'll be alright, most of them are lawyers or religious maniacs. Slippery snakelike and ruthlessly ever vigilant for an opportunity to bring someone else to Jesus so they won't feel they have to suffer alone .
                         We pay them, too. Like you have to do with a lawyer on your case, to represent us in congress and slit our throats. Our miserable undeserving greedy lazy ass throats. They will end the reign of terror run by the cult of the public school teachers and union workers all over the world. Don't worry, they'll kill all they can't convert and the world will be a simpler place for it. The trees will be greener and there will be more room for those left behind.
 Yes, we're still paying them to kill as many of us as they can, and they're just like my murderous cat, they're never done with the killing. They are on a rampage currently, led by jesus and the anti-christ, their favorite monsters.
 We may come out of it OK though. People in Texas are praying.
