Does anyone else suspect this?
So I've been working all my life and still do, nights. But the older I get it seems we were born to work, and it also seems like everything else in life fails but work is always there and is done successfully. This is sort of an insult to my being. We work, get days off to anticipate work, and even on workdays our time off anticipates work, done for 2 grueling weeks and then time come payday it's gone in a day or 2 just paying someone else for permission to exist. I feel like we are being scammed actually. Laboring to make money to give to someone else for permission to stay alive. This puts a real stress on outlook. I've tried being proactive and saying I get to instead of have to, but that's just a mask, or forced enjoyment of the unenjoyable. It doesn't work (no pun intended). Sometimes I wonder if we are all slaves in a big plantation divided into 50 camps.
My late dad always told me to just work hard and do good. Well I've worked hard and done good for so long now but still at the bottom. I've been punctual, solid and consistent but it's always the lazy guy who gets promoted. Why not me? I noticed that everywhere I've worked it has been that way.
Then we have the IRS. They take taxes from us, which many get back each year, but if you don't file then they keep what they took, you don't get anything back and then they put you on a failure to comply list, which proves it isn't about money, but instead its about control. We live under threat of prosecution and jail/prison for just about anything, and now Orange man signs orders to put the homeless in labor camps, asylums/institutions which further proves he doesn't want to clean up anything. He just wants to force every being to feed the beast, the machine. And that suggests to me that the US is nothing more than a huge greedy beast and we are little motors pumping into an insatiable monster.
