No Stinking Representation (Please See Your Tax Bill)
I’m Justin Jest, and I don’t trust paperwork that smiles while it shanks your margin. On one side: “COLONISTS REVOLTED OVER 1.5% WITHOUT REPRESENTATION” (with “No STINKING REPRESENTATION,” because history apparently came with a checkbox). On the other: “SELF-EMPLOYED SUBCONTRACTOR” staring at a “TAX BILL… TOTAL AMOUNT DUE 32% OF NET SELF-EMPLOYMENT INCOME.”
And then it hits you with the punchline line: “I PAY 32% AS A SELF-EMPLOYED SUBCONTRACTOR AND GET TOLD I HAVE REPRESENTATION.” If I have representation, why is my “voice” arriving as a percentage and a due date instead of a human in the decision room? Congrats—your revolution got remixed into payroll. Same burden, new font: please process your payment.
