Speaker 1 (00:00):
Got to talk about my favorite thing. I just heard gotta.
I wrote it down to make sure I don't forget it.
Have you heard of the passion tax? I have not, sir,
What hilarious concept. This is the reason I like taking
in a lot of lefty media is because I hear
things that I find hilarious bewildering. But anyway, the passion tax,
you might be paying it. If you like your job.

(00:22):
There's a good chance you're getting paid left less than
you should because you're willing to do a job that
you like and working harder than you normally would. That's
called you some sort of victim. And the question from
the reporters who's to blame for the passion tax? Well,
that's a complicated issue, Jim, Holy god, I know. It's

(00:42):
like a glimpse into the mind of a madman. No,
that's hilarious. Wow, So you're getting screwed. Even if you
are currently satisfied with your pay and love your job,
you're still getting screwed because of the passion tax. The
man is still screwing you. So there should probably be
some sort of obligatory wage raise for people who like

(01:06):
their jobs because they're being ripped off because you'd probably work,
you'd probably cost you more if you didn't like it. Yes, yes,
I love my job. But if I were offered twice
as much money to do something I hate, I might
take it for my family's sake. But I don't understand
where the passion tax comes in. So am I paying

(01:26):
the passion tax because I would do that job for
twice as much money? That sucks? Yes, yes, absolutely, So
you're either paying the passion tax or the way I
see it, receiving the this sucks bonus, the place sucks premium,
the acronym you see on social media FML my life.

(01:47):
Oh yes, yes, yes seeing my FML. Are you getting
the FML bonus in your check every month? What an
odd way look at it? The world, man, And if
you know, if you come up the world from that angle,
you're never going to be happy. Yeah, it's it's interesting.
I think it's revealing in a way. Not to ticket

(02:09):
too seriously, but it really illustrates a lot of people
on the left believe that life happens to you. You
are a passive recipient of fates and you can't really
captain your own ship. It just comes at you. So
a job you really love happened to you, and now

(02:30):
you're making less than you should be because you like
your job. The pardon me, excuse me, I'm in charge here.
I'm fine. How about y'all go about your own damn business.
The blank my life bonus that shows up in my
text my paycheck every month, It's just fantastic. I mean,
I hate my life and I dread go into work,
but at least I'm getting this Screwma my life sucks bonus.

(02:50):
Suppose you idiots out there playing the paying the passion tax,
going to a job you love, you think you're happy.
You're big robbed robbed by the man, Armstrong and Getty
