Search Results: understand what happened in your life

The US Tax Code with regulations and guidance is about SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND pages long.

Not a single person in the country knows even a fraction of what is in it. And even the EXPERTS who DO know parts of it often disagree about their interpretation.

Yet, if you don't follow every rule, file every form, pay every penny, you will be fined or worse. How can people comply with something no one even understands? That just sounds unconstitutional.

We didn't even have a regular income tax until 1913 and every year since the tax code has gotten broader, bigger, more onerous and more impossible to comprehend. It has given the government more and more intrusion into you privacy and your life, taken more an more of what YOU earned to be spent by someone else and consumed more and more of your precious time to have to deal with.

Now we are paying tens of billions of dollars to pamper and attract illegal aliens? Who wants this stuff to happen? Not the ordinary citizens. So who?

Does this even sound like America to you?

What ever happened to "Land of the free?" How are you free when the average American in 2024 will be giving every penny they earn From January 1 to April 18th to the government? You are having FOUR MONTHS of your hard work stolen every year.

It's bad enough you are being robbed. But you also need to hire someone to figure out how much they will rob? Are you kidding?

This is unAmerican. We need to SCRAP the income tax system and come up with one that is not filled with corruption and that is simple and comprehensible to the average American.

It's not only a matter of fairness, it's a matter of FREEDOM!

No I’m not a sociopath. In fact I am sometimes too empathetic for people.

Anyway I have known a few in my life (even regrettably dated one in the past). I can’t change their nature but just accept the sad fact they can never be trusted. Sociopaths will only value people to the point they get value out of them. This can be sneaky because their “value” can mean different things. It can be looks, money, sex , social optics, etc. Even the ones who are heavily involved in “social justice” initiatives just want the social kudos that come along with it vs. really caring about the people they are supposedly fighting for. Sociopaths see life as a chessboard.

They get paranoid about being “found out” because when they know when that happens people don’t trust them. They need to be trusted to gain their own ends. So they are good at acting and behaving seemingly genuine. But when no one’s looking they will be the last to inconvenience themselves to help someone else who can’t repay them. That’s the acid test of identifying a sociopath; how do they treat people who can’t benefit them.

With all that said a part of me can’t help a bit envy for these people at times. They seem to always get what they want. Sociopathic men usually do (at least initially) very well romantically with women compared to more empathetic men.

It’s because they come off as confident and non chalant because they aren’t worried about hurting a woman’s feelings. They understand the concept of challenge and good at being manipulative. But they put on acts like they care to convince them otherwise. And of course they become the nasty heart break stories women complain about. Then some of these hurt women generalize ALL men for these asshole’s bs.

But on the flip side it must be a heavy burden knowing that you can never really be trusted and must always cover your ass.
