I'm fairly negative, today...(c;

Today is "Income Tax Day" in America. I sent the Illuminati War Mongers
some of my income so they can attack Iran, soon. I wouldn't have, but they
have some really impressive new weapons they can use on us if we don't do
exactly what we are told.

George Orwell had the date wrong.....


He had much more than that wrong. The primary thing he had wrong was how
close of tabs government would keep on citizens. People cry all the time
about this law and that law, but fail to take into account how strictly
the laws are actually enforced. You mention taxes.

I have gone about seven years now without paying my income taxes. Yes, I
do owe them, yes it is a significant amount, no I'm not using some
verbal trick. I owe taxes, I haven't paid them. It's against the law.
But, if not for me actually informing an IRS agent that I haven't paid
them, I probably still would be going relatively un-noticed. Time after
time I would receive notices and even phone calls but then they would
just let it slide. When this guy did find out did they rush me to jail?
No. Threaten me with jail? No. Threaten me at all? Yeah, well a little.
"We're going to have to do something if this isn't paid soon." He said.
And then I was ignored for another year or two.

Having said all that let me say though that I agree with you in
principle. It would be better to have some type of government that
didn't have to coerce it's citizens into giving them money. Hopefully
soon someone will come up with a way to make something like that work.
Until then, the type of government we've got is the best anyone has come
up with, a far cry from "1984."
