This world is a sorry, sorry shame, isn't it? Or at least the way we have it set up, with the 1% getting away with everything and being given whatever they want, pretty much for no reason in particular.
Now the IRS wants to levy what little I have in this world, all because Apple, Inc. misclassified me as an independent contractor. You can kiss my sweet ass, IRS! And Crapple, too, while I'm at it! It doesn't pay to inform the IRS what these companies are up to, either. As far as I know, Microsoft was the only corporation to pay penalties for hoarding Permatemps. The IRS made some phony announcement a while ago that they will prosecute such shameful corporate scammers and award you a handsome sum if you report them, but it's simply not true. There is no 'pie in the sky' or multi-million dollar award. Now, they may have prosecuted a few insignifcant semi-rich individuals for having offshore accounts, but that's really about it. It makes you wonder why they made such an announcement in the first place. Do they really think we'll see them as the 'good guys?' Fat chance!
People, please let me know if you have a similar story. These sorts of crimes happen in the dark, as most of the worst of criminal acts do. In the case of Permatemps, they are afraid to report anything, because the poor sods are so bloody grateful to have any work in the current epic fail of an economy we are now facing.
I know, I am a nut! I am one of very, very few who EVER DARE complain. I've lost out in the short term because of this. You want to know why I protest so loudly, stupidly risking (read - already having risked) everything? Because it's better for all of us in the long term. I am a lot of things, but never have been, and never will be a coward. Call me big bad wolf lady! I really don't care. I have the courage to expose corporate evildoers, and for that, you should all be thanking me. I will stand up to whatever is wrong, until I'm on my deathbed, or until the IRS really does make good on its threat to levy my precious kidneys... Of course, I'd rather eat Steve Jobs' kidneys, with some nice Chianti and fava beans. But he's really a pretty sick puppy, and likely not long for this world (though I'm hardly pitying him). Oh and lo and behold! Here's a cheery news item! We'll really miss him! Not! I predict that Steve will be a PC in the next life :D
Let's make this America's new anthem. Seriously.
