I call bullshit on car insurance

Bought car insurance the other day for the first time in 23 years. One little fee that was tacked on is the spousal exclusion fee. Because I’m married, I get to pay $25 to exclude my spouse from my car insurance. Patrick does not have a driving license, nor does he intend to drive, so I have to pay the spousal exclusion fee. I called bullshit to the agent, and she said: “Yes, it’s bullshit, however, it’s the law.”

Fuck the law. It’s bullshit. All the corporations want to take my hard-earned money, and I do not appreciate that.

I would like to make myself a corporation, so I can pay the same tax they do

Tax avoidance schemes by major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft drew scrutiny from Congress last year, and Apple CEO Tim Cook was brought in front of a Senate panel to explain his company’s entirely legal scheme to park profits in low-tax international jurisdictions like Ireland and avoid billions of dollars in U.S. tax liability. Many of the largest companies in the country pay a zero percent tax rate, and the typical effective tax rate for a large, profitable U.S. company is actually lower than that paid by middle-class families.
