Life of Taxpayers

[Vocaloldfart]

Death and taxes, such is life. We cannot escape either.
 However science and medicine is slowly extending the human life span, but death will always  win out in the end. Perhaps with A.I. and trans-humanism???
Why do
 Taxes on the other hand, being a human invention, is a different matter altogether.

We pay taxes and expect our respective governments  to  provide services that we rely on, such as security, housing, medical, biosecurity and transportation for a start.
We gladly pay these because our society cannot function without the services provided.

Taxes that benefit us, we  pay with a dose of discontent at the rate which we have to pay, but pay we do.

Taxes are a payment for services provided , the taxpayer is not allowed to say how his money is being spent.
There is corruption in governments  that is for sure and the taxpayer has a right to see  to the matter.
There is another global  government corruption, that is a lot more  insidious than sticky fingers in our tax pockets.
This is the global governments financing, instigating and carrying out murder on an industrial scale.
The taxpayer, via their respective government pays the military industrial complexes, not just for our protection but also for espionage, aggression  and intimidation.
Governments are the expression of the various peoples and cultures, every taxpayer world wide is a share holder in their own  form of government.

 We cannot blame our respective government, for they are the expression of us! We dare not complain about the global wars and carnage because it is us who pay.
WE ARE THE MERCENARIES WHO FINANCE THE DEATH AND CARNAGE!

Nor should we. Imagine how boring "forever" would get long before you even got "half way." Then, try to finance paving the stretch of road between your home and the grocery store out of your own pocket.

However science and medicine is slowly extending the human life span, but death will always  win out in the end. Perhaps with A.I. and trans-humanism???

Yeah... Perhaps, but not in "our" lifetime, and honestly, you'd likely not appreciate being one of the first generations of cyborgs.

We pay taxes and expect our respective governments  to  provide services that we rely on, such as security, housing, medical, biosecurity and transportation for a start.

with the exception of security, I do not expect the government to provide any of that. I expect the government to provide public infrastructure and facilitate access to education and health care. The fact that where I live, the government will also largely pay fpor the latter is a privilege. To expect such is to invite disappointment.

Housing..? That is entirely on me to figure out. Transportation? Same, though there are businesses providing such-like in form of taxis, buses, trains of all kinds and so forth.

We gladly pay these because our society cannot function without the services provided.

You pay your rent to live in a nice place, and if the landlord is even the least bit competent, then chances are that place is pretty much what you pay for.

Taxes are a payment for services provided , the taxpayer is not allowed to say how his money is being spent.

You don't have elections in your country? In mine, how tax money is spent is more or less front and center in every single one of those. And if no party aligns with my specific wants and needs, I am even free to start my own and advocate for those. Blackjack. And hookers. In fact, forget the blackjack.

There is corruption in governments  that is for sure and the taxpayer has a right to see  to the matter.

Has he? From whence cometh said right?

There is another global  government corruption, that is a lot more  insidious than sticky fingers in our tax pockets.

So vote nationalist if your country is a net contributor - vote globalist if it is a net recepient of international benefits. You can be as self-serving with your mandate as you please.

This is the global governments financing, instigating and carrying out murder on an industrial scale.

Puh-lease! The Gliobal Government(tm) is a coalition of often-opposing interests, who cannot agree on pretty-much anything at all.
 

The taxpayer, via their respective government pays the military industrial complexes, not just for our protection but also for espionage, aggression  and intimidation.

Of course. Diplomacy does not end when you have asked the bad man to respect your interests all nicely-like and he said "NO."

Governments are the expression of the various peoples and cultures, every taxpayer world wide is a share holder in their own  form of government.

No. Every citizen is, in a way, a shareholder in his nation. Not every taxpayer is the same. That's where my rent analogy comes in nicely. If you rent a home, you do not automatically have an ownership stake in it. You may, or you may not.

We cannot blame our respective government, for they are the expression of us! We dare not complain about the global wars and carnage because it is us who pay.

But "we" do can and do dare do that. Again, some of "us" don't live in bloody North Korea.

WE ARE THE MERCENARIES WHO FINANCE THE DEATH AND CARNAGE!

Nah. In this analogy, we are the warlords who hire them mercs. Mercs don't finance wars. They get paid.
