Fire and Blood...and Taxes
Hark loyal subjects! Your Queen Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen First of Her Name Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons turns her royal gaze upon a matter of utmost importance: taxes! It seems this Donald Trump a king of sorts in this strange land proposes a grand gesture a tax break on tips. Is this a gift worthy of the Iron Throne or a fool's gold shimmering in the light?
A Lannister Always Pays His Debts...But What About Tips?
According to whispers from the Maesters (or as they call them here 'certified public accountants') this proposed law aims to eliminate federal income tax on money earned from tips. Imagine my loyal bartenders and servers keeping more of your hard earned coin! Yet as Ser Jorah would say 'Beware Khaleesi for there are always strings attached.' This law like a poorly forged Valyrian steel sword has its flaws. It is but a temporary measure expiring after 2028 a fleeting moment in the dance of dragons.
The Iron Throne...and the One Yard Line
One so called expert a Lawrence Pon claims we are merely at the 'one yard line.' One yard? This is no battlefield but a game it seems. Like navigating the treacherous courts of King's Landing this bill must survive debates and revisions. One must ask is this a genuine attempt to aid the smallfolk or merely a political maneuver a dragon's roar signifying nothing?
Breaking the Wheel...or Just Rearranging It?
This proposed law like a Lannister scheme has its critics. Some argue it creates inequalities where two workers earning the same amount face different tax burdens based on how they earn their coin. Is this truly breaking the wheel of inequality or simply rearranging its spokes? As Khaleesi I find such disparities...unacceptable. All men and women should be treated equal.
Dracarys...to Unfair Tax Policies!
Ah the age old debate of fairness! Pon alludes to this Warren Buffett who pays a lower tax rate than his secretary due to capital gains. It's like Varys whispering secrets in my ear reminding me that power lies not just in dragons but in the intricate web of financial incentives. This proposed law must be scrutinized. I can not stand with the nonsenses.
Hold Your Dragons...For Now
So what is a Khaleesi to do? Pon advises patience. Do not change your financial plans based on this fleeting promise. 'I'm personally not holding my breath,' he proclaims. Wise words indeed. For now I Daenerys shall keep a watchful eye ensuring that any tax policies enacted truly serve the realm and not just the whims of ambitious lords or kings. After all 'I will take what is mine with fire and blood!'
