guilt
the us tax system is a scam. i feel guilty participating in it because i'm reaping the benefits of it at the expense of nearly everyone else. the people who draw the short stick refuse to take that first crucial step of acknowledging that something's wrong. and they mope about and wonder why it's so hard to make ends meet. all i can do is tell the mark he's the mark. i can't make him vote for people who will raise taxes for the rich. guilt assuaged. sorta.
