When "Stop when it's good" becomes the wisest choice

Under the current tax and welfare system, many people have chosen the strategy of "taking it as soon as it's good". This is mainly because they believe that hard work will only allow them to be "harvested" by high tax rates, and they will not be able to truly accumulate wealth. On the other hand, some people choose to enjoy benefits "sponsored" by others rather than work every day. This phenomenon reveals problems behind the system and suggests that policymakers may be motivated only by their own selfish interests. In such a situation, "stopping as soon as possible" may really be the wisest choice.

In this great era, while we are praising innovation, pursuing dreams and cultivating passion, there is a group of people who have chosen another path, which is to "take it easy". You ask me why? It's simple, because they have already seen through the mystery of all this.

First, we need to talk about our adaptable tax system. Oh, you really think working hard will make you richer? Do not be silly. Under this system, the harder you work, the more likely you are to be "harvested." Not only that, this system will tell you: "Don't think too much, you will never become a real middle class." This is like a joke, telling you to strive, but don't strive too much, after all, it exceeds a certain limit. Just let your wealth be redistributed.

Next, let’s talk about the glorious welfare system. Gee, what a genius design! Why work every day when you can sit at home and receive a generous "salary" "sponsored" by hard workers? Yes, this is reality. Some people work hard and pay taxes, while others enjoy the benefits without having to work. It is truly a "fair" world.

However, the system cannot be entirely blamed. After all, the decision-makers behind the system—the elites who formulate and implement policies—must have considered all the circumstances and made the choices that are best for the masses, right? Oh, sorry, I forgot, they may just be considering their own selfish interests.

Finally, to those who choose to "just give up", I sincerely say: "You did the right thing!" Under such a system, who doesn't want to find a shortcut? When "stopping when things are good" becomes the wisest choice, it can only be said to be a true portrayal of this era.
