Anyone Can Write A Blog Entry

You see what I just did here?

Of course you do.

You can and anyone can, I can even when intoxicated like right now.

I want to write a book but if I can't get myself to even write a blog entry how am I to write a book or become a comedian.

But you are not funny!

Shut up! I am funny, I just have approach anxiety and stage fright.

I need to goddamn study!

Later...

Criminal Politicians (Japan Edition)

The consumption tax will be raised to 8% 4/2014 and then to 10% by 10/2015. I guess Japan wants to ensure that I leave. It's not like things aren't pretty pricey as-is right now!! Those politicians seem to forget that the consumption tax hurts the lower and middle class. What they should be striving for is an asshole tax on all the assholes running the government in Shinjuku, starting with dumbass Ishihara Shintaro. How much does the Imperial family blow on blow every year? You got yourself some mighty savings right there.


Increasing the consumption tax is criminal as it will hurt the lower income classes and will increase the price of essential goods. What they should do instead is subsidize essential goods and increase the corporate income tax and the luxury tax on certain products like the Toyota Century (about ¥11,500,000) which I saw everywhere when I used to live in Osaka.

Increasing the consumption tax will cause people to consume less and less, not what any sane person desires. Less consumption means less sales and a worse economy overall. A higher consumption tax will lower the purchasing power of the yen and will put a squeeze on people who are already living paycheck to paycheck.
