You'd think it'll all get better in your working life... then you remember: tax. ah, that's right, I'm a taxpayer now. You see those clean roads and nice parks? I'm paying for that (See people, don't spit. There's where your tax goes to). You see that cop slacking off over there? I'm paying him. And those nicely dim street lights? I'm paying for that too!
So basically, we're working on a salary, which net tax, goes into our daily expenses, the mortgage, the wife and two hellish kids (and their education (gosh, they'd better be appreciative)), and the retirement fund: which you'll only get to enjoy if you're lucky enough (statistics shows yes you will, but a higher power may not agree). And what we have left is 10 dollars in your pocket, which goes into the horse racing and you pray so darn hard that the jockey whips his horse harder and harder so that you'd get your fair share and sit your fat ass on that pile. But as we all know, never really happens and so we're stuck back on the salary and paying bills.
Now if you were a hobo in Albert Park - nothing. Honestly, no cost-benefit test here, just nothing. Call this an anti-establishment post, but really, what if? Call this naive, but didn't everything start with idealism?
What do you think? Give me a post.
