It’s Not Worth It
That job you do, all day, all week, all year
To pay a tax, buy a thing,
maybe a new car, or another diamond ring
It’s not worth it
But in this world we must pay to be alive
I know
To pay the rent, the food, the gas
But did you ever stop
And step off
And wonder . . . when did that start?
And why?
Have we always paid to be alive?
Who do the forest-dwelling natives of New Guinea pay?
What is their currency?
Our current sea
floating $$$ drowning debt
awash in toys and trucks
Hobby Lobby Walmart Disney
amusing ourselves . . .
. . . the Chinese love us . . .
to death
Hit the bottle, the pill, the porn
Retail therapy
Stress sells!
Hot off the presses new drug, new game, old tricks
Step right up
Shrink your head
Obamacare will pay
Promise you’ll be having fun again in no time
Circus coming to town
Celebrate!
Rinse, repeat
Back to school
ring around the rosy
Now sit still, now jump to the bell, now skip to my Lou
Simon says!

I remember the first time in life I realized I didn’t really own my property that I paid thousands of dollars for & neither do you. Don’t believe me? Try not paying your property taxes (tribute to the government) & they’ll take it out of your poor starving hands & then sell it ( to make more ill gotten gains to misuse). I guess I could go on like the government charging taxes on a used car sale every time it’s sold. Over & Over & Over. Guess we could all give examples but then this would just turn into a big pity party.

Thanks for your comment, Granny. They will find ever new ways to pry our $$ our of our hands. Now that they’ve got us used to paying property tax and income tax and a dozen other kinds of tax, they’ll have no problem taxing us for the rain that falls on our roof and the air we breathe, yay carbon credits! Bring some streamers and cupcakes to the pity party please!

ownership fees….they have claimed ownership over each and every one of us.
we don’t own property. they own it. we lease it year to year. little more then serf paying fealty to the lord of the manor who owns our piece of property. they claim ownership over our labor, our property, the clothes on our back and the food in our mouths. They claim ownership over us with licensing our births, deaths, marriage and ability to own a business. our ability to travel is licensed and restricted.
licensing is a form of permission slip. people ask their master if they can born, they can die. they can marry. they can drive. their social security number is the number of a slave…branded with that number for life.
and yet american’s claim to be ”free”….!!
.what an amazing brain washing campaign that was. from the very beginning. the constitution took our freedom. people had all their rights. then they accepted a ruler and a new master and a limited form of freedom. instead of all freedom they accepted the few they are ”allowed” which in turn are taken so they are not rights are they? traded freedom for a new form of slavery.
it is worse day by day now they make no claim to ”allowing” the slaves ANY RIGHTS. none! the master giveth and the master take away!
