The United States government does absolutely disgusting things to people who are self-employed. The tax system is utterly ridiculous.
The next time I hear some politician bitching about economic recession, I'm going to personally introduce a blunt object to his head, at high velocity. If there's any reason our economy is in the crapper, it's because our own fricken government is actively discouraging entrepreneurship by taxing you out every body cavity you've got, just for not working for The Man.
I'm extremely pissed off right now. Perfect irony that it's some kind of national fricken holiday. I think I'll go burn a flag or something.
Screw this crap, I'm moving to Europe.
