macro-parasitism

so mom is ninety-two and has alzheimer's...and since she cannot process what has happened thirty seconds ago she has something of a tendency to let things like property taxes slide...as a result i had to procure a cashier's check in a substantial amount, go to the county government center and find my way through the skinner box of hallways and metal detectors until i found the tax sale division of the lake county assessor's office where i duly forked over the lucre to redeem my mother's house...so...taxes are a necessary evil( fuck the party of lincoln and their leisure service nominally called the democrats ) and i don't expect much in the way of sympathy...only a clean tax record...however this story doesn't end here..some low-life fuckball from the land of lincoln ( abe was an evil bastard...patron saint of the robber baron and killer of native peoples...odd that cost plus overruns should have found their start during his tenure in office...he would buy anything and chalk it up to "saving the union" ) bought a certificate of tax sale and in addition to the assessor i now have to pay him off as well...and at a profit...heart and soul of capitalism...it's also profiting from other people's misfortune ( my mother's disorder is not voluntary believe me )...so...fuck the lake county tax assessor...fuck lawyers and legislators that contrive this legal chicanery [no offense coach...you either amy lou )...fuck the rat bastard parasites that utilize that chicanery to profit..and fuck capitalism that endorses it as a righteous fucking system that we all should aspire to...there is evil in the world and we are in the heart of the dark empire...where's tucholsky when you need him?
