It's all about the Benjamins baby...

Before P.Diddy declared this undeniable reality, famous man presented on those little cards said that the only two things certain in life are death and taxes.

I’m not going to have a massive dispute over it, as I simply agree with Mr Franklin.

Even Bible talks about paying your taxes, God himself paid taxes- if not sure, check out Matthew 22, 15- 22.

Part of growing up for me both as a person and a christian, was the acceptance of taxes and conviction that it is the right thing pay them.What came as a sad conclusion was the fact that each week I work 1 day for free. I work to pay my taxes and National Insurance. Amen. But honestly- I don’t mind, I pick that day to be Monday, with this approach everything is better after Monday.

But on a bad Mondays I get angry that my hard work translated into tax payments is somehow wasted to ‘support’ all lovely people who watch daytime telly whilst I’m at work. I know it’s wrong to make such a generic statement however sometimes it’s hard to avoid, especially when I see those families in my area. Fair enough, you claim benefits for one reason or another, but isn’t it  a wee bit demoralizing? Getting something for nothing and claiming it’s alright?

The only person that gives me something for nothing is God, everything else works under simple capitalistic rules. And even if you are in bit of a unfortunate situation where you can't afford to go to work and send kids into childcare, maybe if you’re claiming the least you can do is teach your kids some basic manners and actually work on their upbringing? Is this too much to ask for? Moral conviction instead of endless excuses? 

Another sad aspect of the whole governmental support system that it has been based on the assumption of society being honest and reasonable. That’s clearly very virtuos however stupidly unrealistic.

Now that I work for tax-funded organisation I have even more anger because ignorance truly must be a bliss. Otherwise I would've spent less time logging breaches and more on spending monies wisely.

So instead of going angry and upset next Monday I will concentate on the fact, that my taxes are also used in other areas.

Because I pay taxes I have an access to a healthcare, I drive on a not-too-bad roads, I received free councelling when I needed it,  my friends family gets support with her son’s health issues, there are other families with kiddies with additional needs and they get driven to school, they get quality time and support they require. So just to comfort my ironic mind, I choose in my heart to work each Monday for the things I just mentioned.Ha!
