At 17 I lost my girlfriend and first true love. My life was already screwed up in so many ways, that was like the telephone pole that broke the camels back.
Everywhere I turned was either someone saying something stupid, rude, ignorant, or hurtful.
It still hurts sometimes.
Then I saw this-
Starting at 1:58. Now it may sound corny and stupid, but that is the most accurate portrayal of the rage I’ve carried since the day she died.
Phone zombies at the gym… insufferable cunts
TAXES piss me off.
Same!! And who are these people getting refunds?? Like, how??
They overpaid taxes. It’s not free money. Then you have deductions but again, it’s just your own money.
I don’t mind paying taxes. I’d prefer it went to things like infrastructure and education, instead of what it does now.
What pisses me off is having to file them. It’s like walking into a store, asking the price of something, then the clerk smirks and tells you to guess.
And they call the cops if you guess wrong.
I hate how for men it can realistically take 10-15 years of dedication in the gym and kitchen to reach a “Hollywood physique,” while women can get there in literally a few months of just not eating shit, while cutting back on drinks and just doing a bodyweight training routine in their living room like 30 min 3x a week. Moreover, we’re inundated with stories about the “impossible beauty standards” social media and Hollywood create for women.
So my indignation is twofold–jealousy that it’s so easy for them and resentment that I’m asked to feel any kind of sympathy for them 
In 15 years I never got that call… but I’d beat the clerk’s brains out had I
I used to be super involved in this.
No longer. I let my tax attorney handle it.
Taxation is theft. Fuck the IRS and the federal government.
without clear budgets of exactly where my tax dollars are going to, I wholeheartedly agree.
While some people and corporations have complicated tax situations, the vast majority of tax returns could easily be handled automatically or through a relatively simple online portal that the IRS should provide. The accounting industry actively lobbies congress to not make filing taxes easier and to not make a direct government portal where you can file online. Accounting firms are a prime example of rent seeking.
Like this?
No idea how simple it is.
Abolish the IRS and stop taxing on what i make and tax on what i spend…i.e. consumption tax
Gotta make less than $79k as a married couple.
Ah, I didn’t look at it closely at all. I just saw some people talking about it while I was filing earlier this year.
Yeah, in many countries the government just files your taxes and sends you a postcard with your refund.
Theft period if taken by a federal entity via taxation of income.
This!
The only tax should be a consumption tax. You have more money and buy more? You pay more.
Very simple and effective.
Taxes should not need a professional or fancy program to figure out for 99% of the population.
I just had a woman ask for “medium-rare bbq.” I told her that doesn’t exist. She responded “It does if you know how to do it right.”
Bbq is a technique, not a piece of equipment, Karen.
They wouldn’t get as much from a guy like me, unless they start taxing the purchase of stocks / index funds.
I just like them to roll everything into one tax, instead of hiding all the ways we are taxed. Stuff like tabs (and the bizarre need to get a new drivers license every couple of years), property tax, sales tax, income tax…
I’ve tried to quantify what I actually pay in taxes. It’s pretty tough to account for it all.
that’s the point
