owlectomy: Cover of "A Love Story Starring My Dead Best Friend" shows a teen girl at a motel with a bicycle. (lovestory)
After waking up and having the first thought in my head be, "If I don't have hot water I'm going to resort to violence," it is a bit shocking and entirely delightful to find a book trailer for A Love Story Starring My Dead Best Friend.

The good news: I paid my taxes!

The bad news: I paid my taxes!

Self-employment is brutal. I am not opposed to taxes. I am not even opposed to higher taxes. I'm pretty darn well opposed to paying more taxes than GE, though. I am opposed to the fact that politicians yell about entrepreneurship to sell their pro-business policies, and yet it's the entrepreneurs -- and even worse, people with full-time jobs who are employed as "contractors" so they get to pay self-employment tax for the awesome privilege of having no health insurance and no job security, without being burdened by the freedom to work in one's pyjamas -- who get hit with taxes while enormous corporations don't.
