To the common man, to myself, and to everyone else, I say these things: You wish not to become a parent, or to carry a child? Don't have sex. Don't want lung cancer? Stop smoking. Want a liver when you're past 50? Stop drinking. Don't wanna be a fat guy? Get off your ass. Dissatisfied with the price of education? Educate yourself. With the price of medicine? Become a doctor.

I am sick and tired of the socialist bullshit that surrounds me. I am not your workhorse. I belong to me; not to you. I am thankful for the help society has given me, and I am more than willing to pay taxes until I am satisfied beyond any doubt that I have repaid my debt to this country and to the world as a whole. After that? Fuck you all. I don't care. You can wither and die by your own incompetence and your own lack of will, and if I do nothing to help, it will only be your punishment for feeding yourselves of my productivity. And that of my parents. And their parents. And, no doubt, my children and their children also.

Sometimes homeless people ask me for money. Often they have more of it than I do already. And yet society sees them as the victim and me the agressor. Somehow through earning money instead of taking it, I have done some wrong to these poor helpless souls. And by paying taxes I can cleanse myself of the sordid wrongfulness of my productivity and workmanship, and share the fruits of my own labour with those who obviously deserve it far more than I do.

I will spend my life paying taxes into an educational system which will not suffice to educate my own children. Then I will pay a private school to do it properly. I will spend much of my life paying into a government pension plan which I will not benefit from, as it will be bankrupted two generations ahead of me. I will continue to pay for public radio and television. I do not own a television. And yet you tell me I am a fool for not seeing the righteousness in this. If that makes me a fool, than a fool I am and a fool I would rather be than a human, for humans are helpless, whining creatures, that can do nothing for themselves.

So, yes, on to politics. Everyone disagrees with me. What the hell am I supposed to do? Socialism works for everyone, right? Equality for everyone, right?? Where is my share of the equality, you lying bastards? Where is my say? Why is there no political party for my views? Should not society supply me with one, as it supplies you all with everything else? Politics is wrong. Not one political system or another, but the entire concept. There is no correct way to rule another person without their consent. It cannot be done justly. Who are you to say that you know better? You are no more than I, friend, and I say you do not. If there was a system that could work, it would already be in place. But it is not, and there is not, and that is that. It's not philosophy that has to be fixed in order for justice to be done in the world. It is people that must be fixed. And I gave up on that a long time ago.
