A Cahya Legawa's Les pèlerins au-dessus des nuages

Friends, gather ‘round for the most EXHILARATING story of our time! Have you heard the absolutely SPECTACULAR news? Taxes are going up again! Everywhere! Isn’t that just MAGNIFICENT?

Picture this heart-pounding adventure: You wake up one morning, check your paycheck, and SURPRISE! It’s somehow smaller than last month, even though you worked the same hours. But wait, there’s more! Your local government has discovered seventeen new things to tax that nobody even knew existed. Air particles passing through your property? Taxable. The shadow your house casts on public sidewalks? Oh, you better believe that’s taxable.

And the CREATIVITY! The sheer innovative genius of it all! Some countries are pioneering the “Breathing Premium” – a modest fee for consuming more than your allocated share of oxygen. Others have introduced the “Existence Surcharge” – because simply being alive is apparently a luxury we can’t afford anymore. One nation is reportedly considering a “Tax Tax” – a tax on the taxes you’re already paying, because why stop at just one layer of financial excitement?

The absolute THRILL of watching your grocery bill transform into a mortgage payment! The RUSH of adrenaline when you realize that working overtime means you’ve graduated to a higher tax bracket, so you’re actually taking home less money! It’s like a reverse lottery where everyone’s a winner – except you’re winning the opportunity to fund another committee to study why people can’t afford things!

And the TRANSPARENCY is breathtaking! Nobody knows where the money goes, but we’re assured it’s definitely not to fix the pothole that’s been eating cars on Main Street since 2019. That pothole has heritage status now. It’s practically a tourist attraction.

But here’s the most ELECTRIFYING part: They keep telling us these tax increases are “temporary measures” – the same temporary measures from 1987 that are still somehow temporarily permanent. It’s like a magic trick where the rabbit never comes back, but the magician keeps reaching into your pocket for more coins!

The global synchronization is particularly BEAUTIFUL – it’s like the whole world got together and said, “You know what would be fun? If we all raised taxes at the same time, so there’s nowhere to run!” It’s the most inclusive worldwide event since the pandemic, except this time we’re all staying poor together!

And just when you think you’ve seen it all, they introduce the “Simplification Reform” – which somehow makes everything more complicated AND more expensive. It’s efficiency at its finest! They’ve managed to create jobs for thousands of tax consultants who will explain why you now need a PhD in advanced mathematics to file your returns.

So let’s raise a glass (taxed at 40%, plus service charge, plus glass-usage fee, plus celebration tax) to this WONDERFUL new world where your money performs a vanishing act worthy of Houdini! Where every paycheck is a mystery box – you never know how much you’ll actually get to keep! Where retirement planning means hoping you die before you run out of money!

Isn’t modern life just ABSOLUTELY THRILLING?
