Now we get excited at tax time

This doesn't work for Americans because only the poor and the stupid need to pay tax in the land of the free. However to compensate themselves for this they manage to turn their electoral process into a bloodsport of spectacular grandeur. Even Juvenal would gasp in awe at how much his bread and circuses idea has moved on since Nero.

Mind you nobody can hold a candle to the Roman church when it comes to mesmerising the masses with pageantry and frocking up.

I wish somebody would hold a candle to you and your idiocy.

I'm an American who knows something about taxation, and I represent the Church of Ouzo (see http://church-of-ouzo.com).

As you well know, I'm a divinely inspired prophet of all things spiritual, political and economic. Regarding taxation, I have already discussed the only proper form of taxation and the AEP policy of everybody being treated equally by the government with no special favors or subsidies of any kind.

The context of godless does not only fall in taxation but in all aspect of life.

"The evil that lurks in the minds of men is manifested in the collective evil of the beast. Understand the man and you cannot be deceived by his institutions."

No, I'm the real McCoy.

Is that an agnostic McCoy or an absolute fool of a McCoy bob?
