re: #472 Obdicut

Mainly because it is a debt. And it is an obligation.

I don’t feel generous for paying taxes. I feel damn glad I live in a country with a low amount of corruption (in general, I know LA has its whatsits) and where I can clearly calculate my taxes ahead of time and won’t be hit up for a ‘special’ tax by some local asshole. I see taxes as an obligation, because they are an obligation. They’re not a free gift I make.

That’s cool. But notice that you’re saying here you’re obligated, and in the first part said you didn’t understand how I could see it as an obligation. How is that not contradictory?

I didn’t ever say if your taxes are reduced you’re being subsidized. If you, personally, had your taxes reduced and I didn’t, because you were Reine and I was Obdicut, then yes, you’d be subsidized. But that’s not happening. And I always clearly said that a part of the money isn’t yours because you know, ahead of time, that it belongs to the government, because you have to pay it to them. Because it’s an obligation.

We’re not gonna see eye to eye on this, ever.
