Premium Membertaxes '25

(It’s that vernal, infernal, tax season. How about a tax avoidance vignette? It’s poetic—in it’s own way)

Some students at a table near us in the dining hall were discussing America’s financial inequities. One guy was saying that we ought to “tax the crap” out of billionaires and their billions—and there was agreement all around—the consensus

Premium MemberThe Rise In Prices

The rise in prices
Price increase becomes
Price adjustment
But the rise is something different
Unlike the tide
It only rises 
And never falls
It's seasonal
Just like the durian
Every year at least once
With the Financial Report
And Unlike the durian it seldom falls
If it doesn't rise 
The piece of cake is smaller
Less tasty
If it falls
The cake is even smaller
And maybe changes flavour
Unlike

Premium MemberTax Season

Income tax season
Is no reason
For utter despair
Pulling your hair
Shedding a tear
Out of fear
You’ll be broke --
Like most folk!

Poverty Trap

They tell them the reality of yesterday is their tomorrow
Save the cries for different versions of sorrow
The world is hash but there is a God who is omnipotent
The world has abundance if they choose to be content
If their dwelling is a square foot, they should think about a refugee
If their bowls are empty they should

Federal Income and State Law

Federal Income and State Law

It appears that something else we saw;
Break Federal income and do state law;
Our perception;
No  exception;
Even when some one has a small claw.

Jim Horn

Which one is the most comfortable?  
a Federal or State pen you may be
in after you commited another sin.

Ubi, Never Let Needy Hungry On the Face of Earth

Like a statue I want to be,
never have needs, 
or stems I want to grow, 
heavy with grains and fruits,
a self sustained being,  
let us needy hungry not be.

Since the start of time 
your destiny was shaped
by your cell's needs,
a petty survival,
worshiping for this,
eating your piece of mind away.  
How different it would

Ubi, What If I'M Missing the Necessary Solve It, Opportunity For Statues Short Version

On this UBI's Day, May 1st, to observe the greatest socioeconomic concept ever conceived.


You can't have all you want
but not having all you need,        
it's a pity, unworthy economic being,
don't expect a man plant
growing grains, fruits and juices,
rise to the heights 
of your human nature's creator,
make them a

Ubi, What If I'M Missing the Necessary Solve It, Opportunity For Statues Long Version

On this UBI's Day, May 1st, to observe the greatest socioeconomic concept ever conceived.

UBI, what if I'm missing the necessary.
Solve it, opportunity for statues.
Long version 

This statue down there,
across me, don't know
what hunger is 
and what's to be needy.
No needy left a statue,
at the most became a saint,
what didn't have is
reverse inspiration.

You can't have all

Prostitution Her Source of Income

She exposes her body to a lot of people she experiments so that she is able to put food on the table.Her shift starts at sunset when the town is quiet and a few people are around to see.

She walks around in the streets half naked and her body exposed to the cold, but that

Income

Shake me awake
I swear I have been gone far too long
Consumed by my own consumption
Does that make me a part of something?

Maybe comfort is lying somewhere in my possession 
but not in one that I possess just yet
Time will tell but time is waiting for no-one
how easy I find that to ignore

There is always something

Better Household Income

??

Over there in the rural countryside where I'm  at currently....
Gravel road, water and electrical woes are challenges daily....

Hardly any economic activities that bring in cash money..
Barring the staff in the usual government machinery...
And those in some private enterprises and companies...

The village folks are really poor and severely cash strapped...
Saved those fortunate ones in the

Premium MemberInfernal Income Taxes

The mickey mouse instructions were many,

   Trying to figure tax to the penny.

      From the very beginning,

         My clueless head was spinning.

            'Twas as readable as Kazakstani!
