I assign Taxes! YAY

There can never be to many taxes. *doing my tax dance* I pay 39% and that is not high enough!

Rune, get help.

I assign having the greatest job in the world, which makes income tax slightly more bearable.

but dom't you see? Taxes can be the giver of freedom.

With taxes we can insure that the people in the bottom of society can get by, otherwise they would have to hope that religous or charety orgenisations would help them. Wit taxes we can make sure that people get equal opportuneties, we can help them overcome social barriers, we can make sure that even a child of the poorest family has the same chance for succes as one frome a more priviliged home.
TAXES ARE THE AMERICAN DREAM

(Don't worry I will stop now)

EDIT: Post nr. 900 YAY

The feeling that you have just finished your final paper of the term despite having the flu certainly belongs in the Shire. That sense of accomplishment and knowledge of having a speck of free time is unmatched by anything else!

And Rune, dear, kindly ensure you don't injure yourself!

I assign the ability to get an A+ on an acedemic paper written in class on a book that I haven't actually read yet. It makes college so much easier.

I assign chocolates to the Shire. Though not just any chocolates, but ones with 'Painettu Suomessa' written on the boxes. Bonus points if they're heart-shaped ones.

Oh, indeed. And I assign those who receive them and give some to their lovely little sisters.

Ironic, yes, but I assign the "What do you assign to Mordor" thread to the Shire. Especially since I should be pushing myself off the computer right now but, needless to say, I can't.
