I slammed the envelope and official letter down on my countertop in utter disgust.
My township chose to bring our quarterly taxes up, not by $50, not by $100 or even $150 – we were raised by a staggering $300 every quarter going forward. And that wasn’t even the final insult. The raise was a preliminary one. The new bill to be paid for the last part of the year is $100 more. So, essentially, we have a $400 increase.
It’s not even like there’s been an improvement in the town. It’s a simple place, semi-rural really. It’s not like we need or now have more police officers or streetlamps. And there are times when the garbage trucks skip a week. So I don’t know what this ginormous tax levy is for (I mean, it could be for something important that I don’t know about but I need to see it first).
I swear y’all, this is a perfidious money grab – that’s all this is.
Everything now is a post-apocalyptic, dystopian society, cannibalistic money grab lol! And it’s designed to make strong productive people grow tired. How long is it going to be before I grow weary and shrug off the clothing veneers of polite society? How much more will it take before I put on my post-apocalyptic hunter gatherer black leather jacket and disengage myself from civilization – like Mad Max….or more precisely…Mad Mike? 😂
(Not really sure if I can aura-match 1979 Mel Gibson and the successive Mad Max films…but my black leather jacket fits pretty well on me, I guess.)
I can only endure so much taxation levies before I myself succumb to the post World War Eleven desolation that has claimed the free world 😂
