When I pay taxes
I feel like a guillotine
maintenance worker

    In am embarrassed. My initial post, moments ago, spelled maintenance as “maintainance”!

    Hi qazse,

    We’ve got to be able to make up our own words… that one sounds quite reasonable!

    I have much the same sensation running the daily round in my squirrel cage… and I actually have a pretty good job. But too many taxes…

    Succinct, and yet it encompasses a lot of rhetoric, pros and cons, about the State vis-a-vis the tax-paying individual. Ingenious piece, really. ^_^ Thanks for sharing it.

    Yep, that pretty much sums it up.

    fencer, thanks for the cover…

    souless, thanks for the “ingenious”.

    twitches, thanks for the wrap up

    I must tell you all, I wrote this thinking about the issue of paying taxes to kill people. It appears it also applies to the issue of taxes in general.

    I want to also say thank you to each of you for being regular readers. I appreciate it. I will be around more in the future – got a used computer yesterday! (another thing to be thankful for; it was given to me by my neighbor Gary)

    Peace

    Yes, after I re-read it, and the guillotine image sunk in properly, I knew I hadn’t quite got what you were saying, about how our daily rounds are in aid of ultimately quite terrible activities by our so-called representatives.

    Congrats on your new (old) computer!
