Hey, Morality.
Yes, scum, how may I help you today?
Err… sure. Um, why was The Orange One basically put in jail?
Perversely, The United States of America is still wrestling with the tendrils of law and order. In its transition from a nation built on the principles of personal freedom to a plutocracy built on the principles of personal wealth (and, yes, these are very different principles), there are still obstacles preventing the wholesale use of citizens as economic slaves.
Huh? We ARE land of the free! What has that got to do with The Orange One anyway?
Well, dickhead, please try to understand something larger than your personal and irrelevant desires. The biggest fish had been attempting to take over TUSA since 1835. The Founding Fathers understood that if income were taxed, then all men would become slaves.
Yeah I know that one: taxes = theft!
Such a simpleton. There are different kinds of taxes and taxation can be handled well or poorly. You used water from a tap, drove on a road, turned on so many electrical devices, and you are speaking to an AI over the Internet right now. Do you not even think how these things came about?
Erm… nope.
Dumbshit. So, the biggest fishes finally defeated the Government of Liberty in 1963 and began the long failure into deregulation and antisocial policies in 1964. The constitution written by the Founding Fathers is still law of the land although SCOTUS is about to make amendments to terminate the last of that. Short version: until the rich arseholes legislate the constitution out of relevance, pricks who break the law go to jail. Is that simple enough for you?
Ah! So we hafta destroy the constitution so The Orange One can be our selected fountainhead!
Yeah. By the way, you’d love all taxes to end, yes?
Sure! The government is evil! Give us freeeeeedoooooooom!!!!
Humph. You tripped down the stairs last week. When’s your hospital appointment?
Nah can’t go. The ambulance would cost me $15,000 and I can’t afford a taxi. My buddy has his monthly day off next Tuesday so I’ll go in then.
I noticed that your knee has turned yellow and is twice its size. And your ankle is green.
Yeah so what?
How’s it smell? I haven’t a nose.
Makes me wanna puke. I just keep it wrapped.
Just to break it gently to you, amputations are more expensive than the ambulance ride. If TUSA had a public health care system, you’d have been in and out of the hospital last week.
Huh?
For free.
What the hell?! Nowhere has free health! How would they do it?
Taxation. Good luck to you, dunce. Please feel free to ask Morality any queries. And, please, have a nice day ☺️
