Tax time is coming. Thoughts about de-funding the criminal enterprise?
Every year since bush was installed, my resentment at paying taxes grows. It's not because I don't want to pay taxes, per se. It's that it makes me feel complicit in the crimes bush and his cabal are committing. None of our tax money is going to anything beneficial to this country or its citizens. It all eventually goes into the criminals' pockets and bank accounts in off-shore tax-havens.

This year, it's worse than ever. I feel like I have no representation at all, in any corner of society, in any facet of life, in any office of government. Yet I am expected to pony up all this money to fund the out-of-control killing machine and fill the coffers of halliburton and bush's other corporate cronies who are openly looting the treasury. Meanwhile, my elderly mother is concerned about affording her medicine since the "new and improved" drug charade ends up costing her more money. (Don't worry, I'll pick up the tab for her.)

Anyway, it really pisses me off.
