I just got and opened my letter from the IRS informing me that I am receiving an Economic Impact Payment of $1,200.00 by Direct Deposit.

I have a co-worker who shared a link within our department last week where we could provide direct deposit info to the gov't and view the status of their check.

I have not been economically impacted

My co-worker hasn't been impacted either, at least as far as loss of income or hours worked.

I don't need this

While I know that many people would try to take advantage of any vetting process for proof of economic impact (much as the LA Lakers applied for and was approved for a SMALL business loan), I don't know how to feel about getting money when I'm doing just fine.

I also know that bureaucracy would gum up so much red tape for those who actually need this help that they would likely not receive it in a timely manner. This interferes with the feasibility to TRY to include any process of proving or verifying that the applicant actually demonstrates a true need for this stimulus. This letter of 'much-needed economic relief to the American people,' stamped with the signature of the President leaves me with a modicum of guilt.

At the same time, I am grateful to POTUS for giving back some of the money which I know has been stolen from us taxpayers over the years. As atonement for my own feelings of guilt while others are suffering, starving, and losing their businesses, I offer a few thoughts through this forum and hope that sending my input may, in some small fashion, have as positive of an impact as the intent behind them.

Therefore, I offer my thoughts about the issues with the Government I have observed over my lifetime, specifically in relation the application and distribution of tax funds. My initial instinct is to eschew taxes as unconstitutional. And, while that may be true, I offer the following observations with a hopeful spirit. In that same spirit, I know that we must all conscientiously contribute to the success and prosperity of our communities. Since I identify as a member of this community, I choose to share with you frenly anons and innocuous lurkers in the hope of a better future. Shadilay!

I also have the hope that those who have a vested interest in an unchanging word, shills, paid mis-informants, and everyone else who applies their attention here will know that they, too, are a part of our community. My goodwill also extends to them despite any ill intentions, fear, and confusion they may harbor. It is self-evident that the future of our world is also their future. I can only maintain the conviction that eventually everyone will choose to make a positive contribution, according to their knowledge and gifts to a future whose brightness will beckon toward the happiness and success of all.

My main issues of contention with taxes has not been with their existence or extent. In fact, within the same ideology as my previous sentiments have expressed, I would be willing to contribute more toward those who need it and for society, at large. No! The issues I have had lie in the demonstrable misappropriation of those funds through:

Blatant cronyism, without regard to merit, oversight, or accountability, in the appointment of public officials

The lack of accountability for public officials, whose job is the honest stewardship and protection of the citizens under their charge

The greed of career politicians, who would rather use their power to legislate toward their own goals rather than the betterment of society (such as for raises for their own salaries, which is exorbitant relative to their citizen brethren), and the continued lack of accountability after the obvious commission these atrocious acts of hubris

The lack of investment in critical and civil engineering infrastructure

Allowing funds to be applied to establish and/or maintain dishonest institutions, without the application of proper goals or any reassessment of the responsible discharge of their responsibility

The application of tax dollars towards research and technological subcontractors beholden to non-disclosure agreements and/ or whose findings become sequestered behind walls of institutions and classified, government databases. The use of public, taxpayer funds should, as a matter of public good, be shared with those who have made such discoveries possible. No public funds should be used for research if the government has no intention of sharing with the taxpayers the fruits of those endeavors.

In this same vein, the government should not have funds available to use which its citizens are not able to freely source and scrutinize. It should be plain for citizens to be aware that they are the ones to whom the government is and should be held accountable. In too many cases in the past, the fruits of knowledge exploration of the past have been applied by the government against their own citizens. The very citizens who have enabled those discoveries. Yet, since the government has withheld the technological capability from the citizens under their charge, they expect that they cannot be held accountable for either the abuse of the citizens, or the abuse of the technology against those citizens by the government. This is not acceptable in any moral or just universe. All sources of government funding should be a matter of public record.

Finally, since legislators' income is tax funded, the Government should not permit the influence and authorship of our Country's laws by those who allow their own interests, or the interests of their undisclosed, illegal, and non-governmental donors to take precedence over the best interests of the citizens and the Country, at large.

I would further argue that the amendment of the law should require a larger agreement amongst those citizens who would then be subject to that jurisdiction of law. We need fewer laws and more common sense. A law that prescribes against the violation of basic human rights and free will is only needed when it is routinely violated. Such rudimentary common sense becomes less needed to be legislated when the actual needs of the citizens under this legislative purview become fulfilled. We can all begin a journey toward this common sense by taking it upon ourselves the incumbent responsibility to think of the world and its resources not as something to covet and horde, but as a venue for each of us to take the arm of our neighbor and lift them up to our unique understanding of the world as they lift us and teach us theirs.

It is our individual burden to understand the idea that to help others, is to help ourselves.

I humbly thank those that have taken the time to read and consider this wall of text, as well as those who have not.
