i& #39;m self-employed. i write books/comics, do speaking gigs, am a professional gay.
I pay ALLLLLL my taxes.

i mean, i& #39;m angry as fuck and scared to death, but also am just trying to reach out into my community and ask. like isn& #39;t this, among many things, exactly what are taxes are for?
why would they rather i file for a LOAN than just send me what i need?
my debt makes them money but if i don& #39;t have MONEY TO PAY THEM, how do they make money from my debt?
what are numbers? what the fuck?
