00:01:50.300 beat around the bush here i'm gonna dress up a shit sandwich um the canadian revenue agency is going 0.93

00:01:57.200 to garnish my wages effective this thursday so after looking at my assets and squabbling back and forth 0.98

00:02:06.420 with certain attorneys in regards to taxes i've got to pay it

00:02:11.100 and they are garnishing my wages at 500 per pay which means an extra thousand dollars a month

00:02:20.420 based on taxes that happened a few years back now i admit i am guilty for not filing properly

00:02:27.860 but i summed it all up there last year two and a half years ago got everything done

00:02:32.280 get everything filed and the cra sent me a bill of 45 000 yeah 45 grand who do you know on a regular

00:02:42.760 basis in your circle has to pay 45 grand after one assessment or two assessments or three assessments

00:02:49.560 unless you have a big business or some kind of empire of some sort a little old me lives in a nice

00:02:57.300 house with a loving wife and a couple of pets drives a truck to work and works with a truck and 0.65

00:03:04.500 cattle and what have you how the fuck do i owe 45 000 okay now my logic is this it's my own fault for 0.87

00:03:14.820 not filing properly so you pay the fines for that i get that but what i don't get is that the importance 0.98

00:03:21.380 of me having to pay this right away or else a lot of us canadians are living paycheck to paycheck as it is

00:03:30.000 and the cra has had what two strikes in the past two years in the name of fairness and work ethics and

00:03:35.500 and inequality they got to tell my employer we're going to take his money

00:03:40.140 so it's a bit of a shock when i heard that this morning from my pay office and they were telling me

00:03:45.600 we're so sorry but we got to do this and uh i've been angry all fucking day i've been pissed off 0.99

00:03:52.620 down to myself just fed up right now i'm not taking on you my wonderful audience a lot of you guys have

00:04:00.380 really really supported me on this journey and i expect you to because you know i like the interactions

00:04:05.900 i have with with my fan base and people that have said said hello and give me their two cents worth

00:04:11.660 good opinions or bad opinions it doesn't matter i encourage everyone to give me an opinion

00:04:15.520 um but i can't pay all that money i'm having a hard time as it is trying to keep afloat with things

00:04:23.640 you know and uh i i don't drink like i used to i barely touch this stuff anymore my biggest habit

00:04:29.540 is probably these things um but i drink coffee i go to work pay my bills and try to get ahead and now 0.90

00:04:36.720 the cra is breathing down my fucking neck over 40 correction it's not 45 it's 46 000 now too 0.99

00:04:43.280 now when i worked with an attorney there a couple years ago that thing sorted out 0.99

00:04:46.420 they found a way for me to save about 17 grand on that bill

00:04:50.260 and according to cra oh that's irrelevant now i have papers in on my desk there that state 0.99

00:04:58.420 they've saved me some money however my concern is just how these ass clowns 1.00

00:05:04.000 okay keep gouging and gouging and gouging and gouging and gouging and then what you threaten to go to 0.98

00:05:13.820 jail seize some of my property because according to the government there's no such thing as private

00:05:18.420 property right

00:05:19.280 so ladies and gentlemen as the title says it's an honest plea

00:05:24.980 i have some donation links in my description if you care to donate to help me out

00:05:31.220 um i i don't want to beg for cash i'm not one of those podcasters or content creators that begs for

00:05:38.420 money i don't like doing that i like to give something and maybe give something in return that's 0.95

00:05:43.700 fine but i'm not one of those content creators is going to stand up and shake his ass or encourage 0.97

00:05:54.340 and i critique bullshit when i see it as everybody else should but getting that information today 0.99

00:06:01.980 that 500 bucks of pay is going to hurt me it's it's going to financially hurt me

00:06:08.920 and i've been trying to pay off lines of credit on a decent basis trying to get things up and afloat

00:06:15.900 and it's getting really really hard to save any money and the money i did have saved during the 0.91

00:06:19.820 covid years was gone because of covid so the savings account i did have has been fucking destroyed

00:06:27.000 okay and i'm not expecting you my wonderful audience to feel sorry for me i don't want anyone

00:06:34.320 feeling sorry for me i just need a hand okay and uh

00:06:39.900 things have been tough for everybody in canada things have been tough for a lot of people but

00:06:46.780 uh this administrative red tape bullshit has got to stop but i don't have a lot of funds to

00:06:53.800 represent me in the courts if i have to i don't have a lot of assets i've got some fancy stuff here 0.97

00:07:01.040 flags and old army kit and nostalgia around here but i'm not gonna sell all my shit just to appease the 0.71

00:07:36.280 about six seven hundred dollars gone for taxes 1.00
