One of the things that pisses me most about taxes is all the talk about “paying the fair share”.
You might argue that taxes are necessary — but there’s nothing fair about taking by force someone’s property and work for the benefit of others.
The “fair share” of taxes for every single person on Earth is **exactly zero**.
I can’t afford to own a home where I live, but if I had never paid any taxes I could be comfortably retired by now.
That’s pretty typical of middle and upper classes in most of the world.
How is that fair exactly?
Anyone who finds legal ways to pay less in taxes is just behaving like a normal human being instead of a mindless zombie.
Being a serf and paying taxes is just yet another sad thing we endure in this vale of tears. I try not to think too much about it.
But pretending it’s a good thing is too much to ask.
