Exactly right.
If I didn’t earn it, I don’t want it.
Nor will I ask you for anything without telling you I want to pay for it.

Awhile back someone brought up the thing about the gov’t sending out checks and such during covid and I remarked I threw all of it in the shit can, didn’t want it. Everybody said I was crazy.

Because they don’t know this criminal gov’t like I do.

I’m a business owner so I pay income taxes (and others) directly out of my pocket as they are not hidden from me as they are for the common employee and if I don’t, or I pay them late, there are severe penalties.

Several times in the past the gov’t has sent me “income tax refunds” in the thousands of dollars, claiming I paid them too much. Then, a few years later the gov’t comes back and claims they refunded me too much money and I have 30 days to pay it back with HUGE interest and penalties.

Imagine you’re say, 40 years old, bustin’ your hump every dam day, wife, kids, and everything that goes with it, and now you have to come up with $7000.00 in 30 days or else they steal your bank account or place a lien on your crib or vehicle, or maybe garnish your spouses wages.

Could you come up with that kind of coin that fast?
I did, at least 3 times, but I had to single handedly hold back the tides of life itself in order to comply.

Two other times this happened and I never received notice.
The way I found out was when I went to the bank to cash a check and I was informed there were ZERO funds available.

One time this happened and I had written 28 checks to contractors, material suppliers, and other business expenses. Further, the bank acted like I was kiting those checks and slammed me for $15 for each one for insufficient funds.

Any question as to why I hate this criminal gov’t?
I’m just getting started…I could tell you stuff about that criminal institution that would make you break down in tears, or ball your fists and beat the refrigerator to death….

Instead, just go have a section of stout pye. Bitte Schon.
