Suck me dry


I am sure we all remember this. Remember in your tax form, the part where it said ...
- List total income (if none, give details) if you were born after 1 January 1897, and are not a widow(er), include excess casualty losses and provide carryover figures for depreciation on line 27ii. You must list number of chickens slaughtered for export in your home state. Subtract, but do not deduct, net gross dividends from pro rata interests payments, multiply by the total number of steps in your home and enter whole number on line 356d, failure to do so, will result in 11,000,000 € fine and a nuclear attack on a small country.
I don’t know about you, but I gave the wrong answer to this and got a letter today from Hacienda (Spanish IRS) telling me that I owe the government a big deal of money.
Unfortunately this is true. The letter specifies that on line 34b00 I granted myself some electrical item I could not afford and now they are asking (No, demanding) me for 2000€. Can you believe this shit?
The Government is giving my money away to the same bank that denies me a loan. Trillions are spent on things that will kill me and/or others. Big business is laughing all the way to the bank getting away with all the facilities on earth to save money. all the meantime I stand looking at this legal note, telling me that unless I pay, some hard shit is coming my way.
I have always thought taxes are a legal theft. It is so confusing to pay taxes on everything you buy, everything you eat, smoke, drink, use etc. Have a 16% of your income taken away every month and then have to pay extra cash every year.
I would understand if someone who brought home 300,000 € would be asked a small percentage of his salary, but I fail to see how that small percentage is taken away equally to all, regardless of what you make.
Anyways, I am so pissed off I fail to make my point. One thing I tell you, I am armed to the teeth and have a ferocious dog to cover me up. Come and get me fuckers.

I know you don't want to pay taxes but I thought you were a socialist :) In the UK the more you earn the more tax you pay...is that not the same in Spain?

I no longer know what I am, man. I am loosing it. Yes I guess Spain is the same as elsewhere Europe, or very similar in any case. I am just very pissed off that after paying so much for so long, now they want more.

Thank you man for reminding me. I know, I know, it is just that things have not been easy lately and all I needed was this to sink me even lower. You ee what I as telling you abut two or three essays ago. I have plans, big plans, ideas, projects that no one will support, but when it comes to suck me dry....they all line up.

Cucu is the ferocious dog????
Anyway, I think that taxes should be paid by all of us. Another thing is how our money are used by the Government. Danny don’t feel too bad, I have to pay 27% of my incomes ( I do it every month) and every time I buy something, included to the price of the product , there is a % of taxes ( here are called I.V.A.) those start from 4% to 30% (or 36% I don’t remember exactly just because are for the luxury products … and I can survive without them). Another topic can be about the Tax procedural simplification : Make things easy, make pay taxes to ALL then reduce taxes to the population’ weak part….. UTOPIA …

Here is what I am talking about. I think the best case scenario would be if I myself would have to pay nothing. WOyldn´t tht be nice...for me at least.

Danny Valls said...

And yes Cucu is the ferocious dog...I am guessing it won´t work would it?

Nat said...

Do you feel to be part of the "weak population"? I'm talking about other types ... For sure no taxes for you would make a Danny happy.
no,noooo, Cucu as a ferocious dog .... I can came with you, I look more ferocious!!!!

I know I am not part of the weak population, but as you say, Danny would be very happy to tell IRS to go to hell, but I think they are closing Guantanamo in a while.
