    The only reason I want more money is to pay more taxes. I wanna walk around the city like “Yea, you like that park bench? Me too! You’re very welcome! Hey, check out that bus! Looking good, right? Guess who paid for one 200000th of that? [points two thumbs at self like a total douche] THIS GUY!”

      I hate taxes - in the current form. I would gladly pay more of my paycheck if it meant I’d get something tangible - not another fucking almost-free toast bread manufacturing line for a billionaire that he can use to sell us toast bread while making millions. No, I want a nicer park, road repair, bike trails, modernizing community buildings, better education and school supplies. Moving to Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Netherlands, or Denmark would sure move me much closer to the goal.
