El Salvador who happen to live on, rather than not, a gang's turf,' Matt says. 'They make far less money [10.], and certainly don't work for the big firms [10.]. Maybe the main - central if you will, speaking of the Americas - issue here is that money is collected by the wrong people [10.]. Money should flow to people in charge, but only should those people genuinely improve the living conditions for the normal people they should be caring for, otherwise ordinary citizens should be able to shop around for a better government. Also, very few government officials and company directors in Uganda pay personal income tax [9.]. But should they? If the government officials are breaking the rules anyway, then how can they be trusted to do the right thing with money from taxes they don't even believe in paying themselves, in practically paying themselves generously to do nothing by default.'
'That begs the question: who do we pay rent to?' Gao asks, rhetorically. 'All that a government invests in - like people watching themselves like they're expecting company (like pregnant guests and figures) to be assembled here, for instance - should be completely public. If the shares in whatever a government invests in decline in value over time, that means that the people are not happy with this particular investment. And if enough people are not happy and want to sell their shares, then they should be allowed to - which is actually democratic tax avoidance. Essentially, what this all means is that vulvas should be phenomenal like public figures. There should be less focus on pregnancy and more on pleasure worldwide. Taxes should be paid with and for pleasure to dampen consumer spending for good. Think about it. If the camps the Uighurs are held in are meant to be for empowerment then vulvae should be worshiped to the extent that women can easily describe what they have seen. Personal income tax should indeed be personal, with the whole body in mind. A personal income tax on good for good. It's personal for those in power, because they spend it on themselves, but this should be for educational purposes. Use of income tax that's personal should be monitored like Uighurs so that one day female Uighurs and Ugandans can get married and live a life seriously free from repression.'
'Wow,' Matt says. 'True. Totally. And who DO we pay rent to?' - Matt looks up at the glass ceiling.
'Right hands, hopefully, should be promoted, like we're in India, but not at the expense of left hands for writing [12.],' Gao says. 'Ships' right hands can sleep at night if money ends up in the right hands, like Chinese ships' right hands in Australia [11.]. Promotion of this in India could encourage Chinese and Indian tourists to find themselves in Australia if they need a right hand with physically finding themselves. That's beyond mental, sure, but they can use their left hand now. (The reason for any numbness is what we should wake up to. Relieve stress). And that's how they eat tonight: out like a light. We're coming back to sleep now like we were going nowhere, but now dreaming of population growth outside Asia, but dreaming of Asians. Note that the vulva needs the right hands. We haven't gone carefully through this yet. Ships sink because of loose lips but that's how people get wet. Don't just think about it, talk about taxing work appropriately, even though it's hard. That's a reason why it should pay off. Relaxation should be universal, and a tax should be an insurance against overworking. Hands should be clean.'
Gao's falling asleep.
So's Matt.
It's night.
They're gone.
