[Flafurs] Funny thing about taxes.

[Rassah]

Yeah, the good old days. Back before we had cars, when all your savings could disappear with the bank without recourse, when we had to spend our own time to make sure that our food and medicine was clean and safe, and if we got sick, oh well. The great times when no one was round to keep an eye on the mules, the lands, and he fishing lakes, and you didn't have to worry about anyone from the government preventing you from draining your old batteries or chemicals in to the old swimming hole. Back when there wasn't anyone around to clean up the mess already in there. Back, when buildings didn't have codes nor inspectors to make sure they're safe, when the sheriff was the only law, and fires were put out with buckets carried by neighbors. Oh, and remember the great days before we had sewage systems, or running water? Or when public health codes didn't exist, and homeless, sick, and elderly who were abandoned had only the option of dying and rotting on the streets? Damn that social security, government safety codes and oversight, and all these taxes for making our lives so much less interesting.
