WHAT CAN MEN DO AGAINST SUCH FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY?

WHAT CAN MEN DO AGAINST SUCH FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY?

>YOU SHALL NOT PASS, UNLESS YOU PAY YOUR INCOME TAX

seriously?

What was he a sole trader or a limited company?

regardless of its structure, Mordor as a commercial entity definitely had a high burn-rate

Good thread, OP.

What were Sauron's overheads?

Not OP but thanks

he turned a blind eye to them

reddit meme

>Frodo, listen to me, I ... I have a very important advice for you ... you can save a lot of money ... by evading taxes ... with letterbox companies in Ered Luin ...

Best tv meme in years

>literally having a city named Grey Income Havens

wtf tolkien?

>tv
Bad news kiddo
its an old /lit/ meme.

...

>inb4 some buttmad GoT reddit-user claims this meme isn't great

>the elves were evading taxes by leaving
at last I truly see

Not that guy but you're welcome

>Grey Havens was a tax haven

WOAH

really makes you think

MY EMPLOYER, H&R BLOCK, BIDS THEE WELCOME!

mind... blown...

...

But nothin can short it!

>yfw Valinor is nothing more then a giant tax scam for Elves to harbor their incomes and hide it from their annual Endorian fiscal report
>yfw Sauron was on to them and tried shut it down but the Elves would play the victim card and marry into the royal Houses of Men having them do all the dirty work
Ar-Pharazon did nothing wrong.

Yeah but taxation is theft.

What was Morgoth's tax policy?

sauron pls

he was a singer iirc, not very well versed in economic affairs

The orc labor union wants free healthcare and better working conditions by the time the Age of Men is over!

>Valinor Papers

And meat!

The Big Guy can

They've got a bailiff..

that's oversimplifying it. the orcs were demanding the revitalization of the farming and agricultural industries, possibly through an initial attempt to diversify their tactics of raiding into something that focuses more on the seizure and safe transport of livestock and grain.

>But Sauron lost! He was taken to small claims court and lost!
>right Gandalf?...

>burn every village

was he simply suggesting relocation of the rural population to the more developed industrial regions to boost rohan GDP?

The taxman
The taxman can
The taxman can cause he taxes it with love and makes the world trade goods

no, it was a temporary tactic employed by saruman to force rohan to submit to his will. his intention was to make rohan a march of isengard, in his vision, isengard would be the urbanized, industrialized heart of his empire, rohan being the main supplier of manpower but dependent on isengard for food and manifactured goods, and shire would be the agricultural vassal that supplies both isengard and rohan with mainly farmed produce.

are you sure Isengard parliament greenlighted it?

isengard at the time was a dictatorship, saruman was the only decisive element, any semblance of bureaucracy was dominated by uruks that were very loyal to saruman thanks to his eugenics program. what's troubling is what would've happened to the united fascist states of isengard after saruman's demise, but as he is an immortal magical being, it's obvious saruman intended to stay in power for as long as possible.

Kek

Wait a minute...

>but what about second mortgage?

> Get back, scum! The profits go to Saruman. Untaxed and unspoiled.
> What about their deductibles? They don't need those.

you're very right to draw that parallel. mordor, on the other hand, was more like a pre-revolution russia. tolkien's main goal with the book was to introduce people to the complex issues that he assumed would arise after the second world war. he, therefore, very accurately constructed a ww2-cold war era fantasy realm. his impeccable details of the financial conditions of the times was very well praised.

AND MY TAX

>tfw can't participate in the epic new meme because I know nothing about finance

> Well, this is a thing unheard of. An Elf would cut taxes , where a Dwarf dare not. Oh, I'd never hear the end of it.

>What is that?
>This, my friend, is Form 1040A.
>They come in 1040A?
>I'm getting one.

>Why should I tax exempt you, Gandalf Shylock?

No sweat, just do what the others do, take a random quote an replace a word with "tax".

>tfw you get your tax returns

>not learning about it for the sole sake of shitposting
b8 threads on Sup Forums made me learn more about history and geopolitics than 18 years of education up through university

Is this the greatest new meme of 2017?

forced meme of the year so far

vs
who was in the right here?

Don't you know we're at RECESSION?

yeah but that's not saying much
it's much better in unrelated threads, devoting a whole thread to it isn't that funny

T b h it has started to grow on me

Pattern itself may resemble Baneposting - slightly funny -> not funny -> absurd -> hilarious

Give examples

Proofs?

"They have taken the office, and the second condo. We have launched an appeal but cannot hold them for long. The premise loses value. Bills, Bills in the deep..We cannot pay. A bailiff lurks in the dark... We cannot pay. We cannot pay. They are coming."

I WILL TAKE IT
I WILL TAKE THE W2 TO MORDOR

Holy fuck these are funny

best pasta this meme has produced

They have a Cave Toll

FEES! FEES FOR YOUR LIVES!

nah
>PIPPIN: I didn't think we would go bankrupt this way this way.
>GANDALF: Bankrupt? No, the business doesn't end here. Debt is just another path, one that we all must take. The lucarative surplus of this business rolls back, and all turns to empty bank accounts, and then you see it.
>PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?
>GANDALF: A Jew, offering a loan at what he insists is a reasonable interest rate
>PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad if we are to restart our business with competent financial planning
>GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.

What about second bailout?

>Arwen: Why do you fear the past? You are Isildur's heir, not Isildur himself. You are not bound to his interest rates.
>Aragorn: The same rate applies to my account. The same weakness.
>Arwen: Your time will come. You will face the same Juden, and you will defeat it.

Nine companions...so be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring, LLP.

>hes heard about second bailout right merry
>and bankruptcy, financial aid... gibs
>merry he heard about gibs right?
>I wouldn't count on it.

>What about their tax-returns, they dont need those

Best meme senpai

>Looks like fiscal responsibility is back on the menu boys!

I can't carry it for you, Frodo...

But I can claim you as a dependent!

How would tax work in such troubled times? With Rohan under rule by a clouded leader would people even bother to pay tax when they're barely protected and raiding parties constantly target the farms

>the only worthwhile thing that GRRM has ever done is accidently create this meme

That must sting.

>File you fools, File.

>Nine companions. So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Rivendell Enterprises). Terms and conditions apply.

Taxation of trade routes can mean only one thing.

how did the trickle-down-Tooked-up economics work out for the Shire again?

the income inequality is at an all time and the social mobility has been made nigh impossible

>This tax is a gift. A gift to the foes of Mordor. Why not use this tax? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, kept the bailiffs of Mordor at bay. By the ink of our quills are your accounts kept safe. Give Gondor the taxes of the enemy. Let us use it against him.

fucking kek

LOOKS LIKE SHORTING IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS

is there anything that film can't do?

But what was GRRM's tax policy?

Aragorn: "You were auited!"

Gandalf: "Through the IRS. And FBI."

Gandalf: "From the smallest petty cash claim to the largest merger, I cooperated with him, the Tax man of the IRS.Until at last, I threw down my pen and paid my back taxes through a cheque. Stars wheeled overhead, and every day I waited for it to bounce.. But it was not to be. I had been granted an overdraft again. I've been laundering money through Bilbo's accounts until my condo is built."

Aragorn: "Gandalf!"

Gandalf: "Gandalf? Oh yes. That's what they used to call me. Gandalf the Grey. That was my name."

Gimli: "Gandalf!"

Gandalf: "I go by Gandalf the White now. Better credit score. And I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide."

As a corporate finance consultant, this thread amuses me to no end.
