i
wouldn't
mind
working
so
hard
if
i
could
enjoy
my
time
off
,
not
let
empty
pockets
and
empty
cupboards
and
unpaid
bills
and
enforced
isolation
keep
my
back
clenched
and
my
heart
hollow
.
it
takes
the
fun
right
out
of
gainful
employment
when
it
hardly
gains
you
anything
but
survival
.

we
learned
about
it
in
economics
how
it
can't
rise
because
it
would
cause
outsourcing
and
the
market
can't
handle
it
but
how
do
you
factor
in
the
family
that
lives
off
nothing
?
where
do
you
draw
the
line
of
living
in
this
blessed
country
to
surviving
in
this
damned
country
?

it
says
something
about
a
society
when
you
make
slightly
more
at
grad_school
than
someone
working
for
minimum
wage.

I
love
how
people
in
the
know
about
"money_matters"
talk
about
"outsourcing"
and
"competing
with
imports"
as
if
one
of
the
functions
of
our
government
ISN'T
to
use
its
taxing authorities
to
protect
American
industry
from
unfairly priced
FOREIGN
products.
A
company
that
outsources
its
labor
should
have
their
products tariffed shitless
when
they
arrive
back
on
the
boat
.
That
should
also
happen
to
ANY
goods
coming
from
a
country
that
doesn't
trade
fairly
with
another
country
.
It's
economic
suicide
to
allow
domestic
companies
to
outsource
without
taxing
the
shit
out
of
them
for
doing
so
,
and
let's
not
get
into
how
extremely
unbalanced
trade
is
a
shotgun
to
the
face
.

unhinged
those
companies
own
the
government
so
they
will
never
be
taxed appropriately
for
destroying
the
middle
class
there
is
a
socialist
running
for
seattle
city
council...guess
who
i'm
voting
for
the
fact
that
people
try
to
use
the
boston
tea
party
as
a
relevant
argument
in
2013
makes
me
want
to
scream
"
if
we
adjust
minimum
wage
for
inflation
,
companies
will
lay
people
off
" uuhhh...maybe
the
government
needs
to
make
that
illegal
as
part
of
the
legislation
that
raises
the
minimum
wage.
the
fact
that
the_law
and
the
corporations
that
own
it
see
no
problem
with
forcing
most
of
the
workforce
of
this
country
into
indentured servitude
makes
me
sick
.

unhinged
i
was
self_employed
for
five
years
before
i
moved
to
seattle
;
this
government
taxes
the
shit
out
of
the
self_employed
.
i
am
slowly
getting
back
to
that
.
but
the
fact
that
i
work
full_time
and
have
nothing
but
debt
to
show
for
it
is
disgusting
