Kleptocracy

The other word I really enjoyed, same book as the one I've been reading, is kleptocracy. Its roots are obvious and I don't know how much in use it is, but it really and truly describes the federal system of taxation in my mind. A government based on stealing. Of course, our government also interferes, charges additional fees, and gives back next to nothing, especially someone in my position, middle class and barely making my mortgage payment. Not that I'm complaining, there are some who are much worse off than I am. But honestly, how much nicer is it to have no obligation to line anyone's pockets with your cash. In that way homelessness looks attractive.

I would never want to be homeless, however, because I don't want some other homeless person to piss on my head while I'm asleep and then tell me I'm in her spot.
