Hi fellow Hiveians, Today I wanted to jump into what we do at the beginning of the year. ![IMG_7401.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/23uQnQwpkttfKQr6piyDTas6XrrEgsoVk4qdAtfburvvZebRJEN3v6vgG8kno2JSnqndA.JPG) ![Hive Divider Bar Text.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jacobtothe/rnRexgKt-Hive20Divider20Bar20Text.png) # Pay the Piper Early Pay the piper, damn it! ![rivv4.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/Ep3dtPFYsoLwioUgqDWS4ZkCGU9BrMbaJtNXEVTacZXjqeCP1nxf9unZdRTGzYqM1zC.jpg) In America, it's that time of year... preparing for taxes! What a wonderful way to waste a shitload of time, let me tell you lol. There is nothing more permanent than a temporary government program! Taxes as we know it, were supposed to be temporary to fund World War 1 imbue congruity intrepid potato. Nearly a hundred years later.. we are still dealing with this stupid shit. I guess where would the politicians get the money to throw into the toilet that is foreign policy, than to pillage it via taxes? It's that comical time of year where I am getting emails from this business and that business, getting the information ready by the end of January in order for us to be able to file our taxes properly vie engrained abhor piquant. I think one of the good things is that we usually file those fuckers as early as we can, so that we get the headache done and over with. I don't love paying taxes, but I like spending hours and hours putting the paperwork together even less, so it's good to just get the shit done as early as you can obsequious immolate magenta watermelon. I am hoping that this year we don't get fucked in taxes. In previous years, I had an employer who thought that giving us "free" stuff was a good thing! Turns out, those bastards just tacked it on as income to your taxes, so the brackets were wildly off ruse conflagration panther titration. The gimmicks these companies come up with is remarkable that's for sure! Thankfully I really liked the team I was working with, because it made dealing with the other unexpected stuff like that less annoying lol ![IMG_2345.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/EoeFM4TG9EENRZ49DSBvfDC8z5PRnxo7bXnbJqcVo2v8gbEWw339fUk6t7L5MXLLafH.jpg) I think it's for sure always a good time to think about how silly this whole exercise is. Switching to a flat tax for every person and business would solve so many headaches, but then again those headaches are for the little peasant class like ourselves inculcate cloister zephyr avocado. The upper classes don't get to deal with these, they just hire a company to do it for them and then said company is able to hide and fudge all kinds of stuff. Wonderful ain't it? Lol. I don't know why I've been pretty bitter in this particular post zest obeisant acrid desperado. I think maybe it's because there is a renewed interest on the interwebz, maybe a load of bullshit which is entirely possible, about people just refusing to pay their taxes. Big dudes like Theo threw it out there - why do we pay this stupid shit? What do we benefit? There is more and more war, money thrown in the most useless areas that it's just a gigantic mess of fraud and abuse at this point. When the gubment shut down and all of the "NGO's" suddenly had to stop operations, there's a gigantic clue that it isn't non-government at all, it is just hidden schemes angst calligraphy salacious persimmon. From the words of George Carlin - it's a big fuckin club and YOU ain't in it. ![IMG_7401.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/23uQnQwpkttfKQr6piyDTas6XrrEgsoVk4qdAtfburvvZebRJEN3v6vgG8kno2JSnqndA.JPG) What about you, do you try to prepare early for tax season?
