Add to it the other taxes, hidden and unhidden. VAT, consumer, whatever.

The medieval is not over. We all still ares laves of landlords, just that they do not name themselves landlords anymore. Even if we die, communities - in Germany at least - tax us with fees and taxes, like in the medieval the landlord was compensated with payments from a village or a farm community if one worker died and the landlord thus lost the slave labour of his slave.

No use in achieving, no worth in trying better, harder, finer. The company of swines means that all pearls you can ever produce and polish, will be robbed from you, and thrown before the swines. They turn your working ethics against you, your desire to perform gets abused, your goodwillingness becomes the iron fist with which they grab you by your balls.

No goodwillingness is at order, then. Disobedience. Boycott. Strike. Lets see how far socialism gets when the exploited elites that it wants to milk and milk and then milk more - refuses to deliver elitist performance, giving no more milk that way. See you in the gully, picking up the tiny remains.

Don'T try to do better, it does not pay off. Try to get away with doing less. That is the new parole. That's progress! Oh wait, we have had all that already. Several times. Always ended in chaos, mass poverty, social misery, dysfunctional economies, massive corruption, social desintegration, and worse.

Cars made in Germany, were a symbol of quality. There were two types of German engineers, those in the West, and those in Eastgermany. Both were qualified, and blessed with human creativity. When you wanted a car, the Western engineer led you to the parking place and showed you dozens and hundreds of car models of exquisite quality. When you wanted to buy a car in the East, they showed you a Wartburg or a Trabant, both of inferior, hopelessly uncompetitive quality. In few colours that all were so dismal that it made you wanting to commit suicide. And for which you had to wait months, if not years, if you could afford to buy it. That well the government knew how to plan human demand and planned economy.

Governments know it better! Economies must be planned! Hail to our new feudal masters!
