The Federal and state governments are going broke. They are in desperate straits and are looking to raise money in any way possible. Fees, fines and penalties are all increasing with no let up in sight. DUI tolerances are going down. Red light cameras are decreasing by a half a second when yellow which is projected to raise millions in Tampa, Fl. Vehicle registration fees have doubled and we feel fortunate that gas is only $3.50 per gallon.
Carbon neutral has become the mantra of misguided elites. Cap and trade for 'carbon credits' is seen as a way to limit greenhouse gases however it is just another fraud. The presumption that carbon based life forms, (all people, plants and animals) are the problem is a nightmare idea.
The following list of new taxes could be implemented as reverse psychology to save us from our current insanity.
- A 'leave your house tax' - For generally using more air and space. Satellites and drones could help with this.
- Entering a building with air conditioning tax- You are bringing body heat into an air conditioned environment- you must pay.
- Road usage tax - Per mile information can be collected on all new car black box recorders and GPS systems that can then be sent to the motorist.
- Eating establishment tax - You are eating in a restaurant, that requires significant energy to produce food for you, pay the tax.
- National park tax - You are using a state or federal resource, of course, there must be a tax levied.
- Turning 21 tax - You are now an adult and as such must pay for your adult usage of all resources.
- Place of worship tax - Property tax on all places of worship.
- Social Services tax- All social services, SSI, SSDI, Welfare, Health Dept,WIC - Use of these services incurs a tax.
- Mail tax - you want mail delivered? pay the tax, optional delivery.
- Stupidity tax - If two or more adults sign affidavits attesting to your general stupidity, you will be taxed for it.
- Entertainment tax- Movie theaters, concerts- anything deemed as 'entertainment' - a tax is levied.
- Baggage fee tax- The airlines are getting rich collecting it, why not tax it?
- Excessive talking tax- If a recording can prove that you over talked, rambled on excessively or just would not shut up, you will be taxed.
- Excessive cell phone usage tax - If a cell phone has become a body part and you cannot seperate your physical person from it, you must pay the tax.
- Happy tax- Once again, if two adults can confirm and sign affidavits of your unreasonable happiness, you must pay for it. We are all miserable and cannot tolerate your 'happiness'.
- Useless email tax- The senders are taxed based on number of deletions.
- Awful music tax- If you are the distributor of awful music, (most music today), you will be taxed.
- All major banks tax - As the title implies, all major banks will pay an additional tax for the thievery they have perpetuated on the general public.
By instituting these taxes we can then truly see the insanity of our current taxation and a tax payer revolt can then usher in sweeping reform. The money that is collected in the mean time can be redistributed as a stimulus payment for small to mid sized businesses to support job creation. This is the shock therapy we need to finally wake up and save the middle class from feudal serfdom and wage slavery. The day dreaming and distracted public needs the cold slap of reality to reboot the national economy. Our ailing nation deserves nothing less.
The ZURF Act
For Zarathruster reflected on the plight of the unemployed and specifically the underemployed in America. The problem was pervasive and seemed to have no end. Many were unemployed yet more were underemployed - they had jobs, just not making anywhere near the income level of what they were accustomed to. There must be a solution to this malady! Going ' back to school' to further ones education via debt accumulation did not seem the path to take. Sending out over 100 resume's per week for several months with targeted cover letters also yielded less than desirable results. Many of these unfortunates even reduced their expected compensation amounts by as much as 40% and still were not able to find work let alone an interview. These were indeed strange times and Zarathruster knew he must come to the aid of the perplexed public in the arena of employment.
Since the current unemployment benefit offered to the unlucky ones was typically 25% of ones past income, Zarathruster came upon the idea of a combination of benefits to help in the interim of ones career path. After speaking with many of the employment challenged individuals, Zarathruster realized that they all seemed to suffer from a mental malady of sorts. The malady was characterized by a depression, a lingering unease and a black and white view of the world that was once bright color during their former employed lives. Zarathruster saw this illness as a disability and directly tied to their unemployed state. Many of them lost track of days, could not sleep at night and were overly irritable and prone to angry outbursts - this was a most definite disability! A temporary solution to this malaise lay in the declaring of unemployment as a partial disability from which a minor supplemental disability benefit could be paid to the disaffected individuals. Zarathruster calculated that if the current unemployment benefit was 25% of ones income and a partial, temporary disability benefit of 15% of ones income could be paid to the unemployed and the underemployed, it would be a great help to them. The adversely affected individuals could then afford to keep a roof over their heads and not be cast out into the street thereby not becoming a further burden to society. This was the solution Zarathruster was looking for and was submitted to the authorities as 'Zarathrusters Unemployment Relief Fund'.
The 'ZURF' Act was formerly submitted to the State legislature and is awaiting approval.
Scouting
A few years ago, Zarathruster attended a cub scouts meeting on behalf of his step-son to help the boy and make a positive difference in his community. When the group of adults was asked " "...who will be the Den Leader?", they all looked to Zarathruster and he became a Den Leader. This he did however not without reservation and ideas for the betterment of the program. The program itself was well structured yet poorly administered. The boys were not given the full latitude and ability to grow as young men. Classroom work and crafts are not the purview of young men, they needed to be outdoors competing and exploring, not doing macrame and all manner of home bound crafts. As Den Leader, Zarathruster had the young ones outside as much as possible learning basic survival skills. His methods were questioned yet he persevered. Zarathruster rejected the accepted protocol of forcing the young ones to sell overpriced popcorn in a door to door sales scheme. This he saw as exploitative and downright dangerous. Let them grow up first and learn about working people over in badly planned scams later. Food drives and car washes were better uses of a scouts' time. The scouting association went to great lengths to hypnotize the innocent ones to sell popcorn via brainwashing videos. The videos were truly hypnotic and consisted of repitition and mantra like sayings of "popcorn...sell popcorn...sell more popcorn.."...over and over..They were brainwashing our kids! Thus began the end of Zarathrusters association with the scouting authorities. After Zarathrusters absence, it was confirmed that multiple parents and kids preferred Zarathrusters methods over the corporate scouting culture.
Beating back the Jackals of the Land
Public action on behalf of prospective development efforts near ones primary residence can be necessary in times of unbridled land grabs. Zarathruster chose the land he lives on for reasons of privacy and the inability for development to commence behind him or on either side of his property.
The first attempt to overrun our island of peace commenced in 2006. Fortunately, a county engineer and a retired road builder live in the affected area and were highly vocal in the ensuing city planning meetings. City Council meetings were attended and neighbors were encouraged to speak publicly of their concerns. Zarathruster expressed his concern as to increased traffic flow in a residential area while the engineer and road builder hammered through factual evidence of the infeasibility of the plan. Zarathruster demanded a copy of the 180 page traffic study which was used as a resource to counter the land grabbers. The local roads were already a pet killing field and a additional 128 trips per day would only add to the carnage. Next, the developer invited us to a "get to know River City Homes" planning meeting. They had the entire project scoped out with artist renderings and such, as well as a pre-planned speech designed to sway our interests toward their agenda. The local citizenry presented a united front against these interlopers and successfully beat back the jackals of the land. The same scenario was repeated by another developer in 2009 and was subsequently beaten down. Zarathruster is a locally known proponent and defender of his section of the community and will remain as such.

The age old question of 'who are you?' defies explanation. Are you your name? Your Social Security number? Are you defined by your work, your family or your station in life? Are not these definitions simply labels put on us by external requirements to be defined, categorized and put on a shelf to be utilized or needed only when these definitions apply?
When asked ,"What do you do..?" at a party or social event , you typically tell people about your job. It's no wonder we need alcohol- and lots of it - to handle these situations. Who in their right mind wants to hear about someone else's job - a job that they typically don't like yet they tell you they do. A better question would be, 'What did you learn this week' or '..what do you do when you're not working...'.
"Here's my card"- another complete waste of time. No one needs those cards. No one really uses them. They are a prop and they exist only to give us something to do. My next business card will read 'Zarathruster'- Doer of Things- with an email address. If someone remembers something we spoke about and wanted to contact me, they can email me and state their need or concern. No fax number, business, office or cell number will be on the card. If they can't email me, I don't want to speak to them. Since I am a 'Doer of Things", I am not limited to any one thing or group of things. Plus, a 'Doer' sounds much better than a 'Consultant'.
We should not be bound by the two name naming convention. As grown adults, we should be able to choose the name that suits us best. Since our first and last names are actually a corporate entity evidenced by all capital letters on our birth certificates, we have had no choice in our given corporate name. Our parents unwittingly signed us into the system of social security and taxation via a warehouse receipt ,(birth certificate), under admiralty law. Under admiralty law, we acquire our citizen-ship. The gold fringe around the edge of the American flag in a court of law indicates admiralty law. We are birthed from our mothers water and given a certificate of birth much in the same way goods are transferred from a ship to a warehouse with a warehouse receipt issued. We are now defined as human capital and a human resource. A resource is by definition something with value to be extracted and then discarded when no longer necessary. If that's all we are then we're definitely in trouble.
Through a Uniform Commercial Code filing, you can free yourself of your corporate name and become a Sovereign Citizen. The name given to you at birth is a straw man for your corporation. Through filing a first lien position on your straw man name, you are therefore in first lien position in regards to all debts, liabilities and encumbrances associated with your corporately named person. You are the third party intervener in regards to your straw man. None can come before you. You are a Sovereign Citizen which also implies responsibility to natural laws of right and wrong however not to the forced bondage of the corporate system. By answering as the third party intervener on behalf of your straw man in a court of law, you are not entering into the agreement foisted on you as a corporate entity. Therefore they have no dominion over you. Although rare, there are proven examples of this in the Canadian and American court systems typically involving civil cases, ordinance violations and traffic infractions.
The Sovereign Citizen is an interesting way of defining yourself and is worthy of recognition. Our names are our corporations in the system and knowing this might allow one to realize the reasons why we are tied to our system via social security, taxation and improper interpretation of laws via the court system.
