today i am a free man

finally, after a mere 20 years (give or take), i have once again become a free man. because today the state of michigan received my check for $3,109 outstanding child support and have closed my case once and for all glory to god in the highest amen and amen. no more warrants, no more living in perpetual fear of being arrested, no more garnishments or social scorn because that shit is paid (can i get a hallelujah?)! not only that but, as the fates have preordained before the dawn of life on this planet, --haha!-- my ex-wife got all the money i owed her as well (a measely $3500) so everyone is happy. even me but-- 20 years are you fucking kidding me?!? jesus fucking christ! child support is a civil matter, not a legal one you dumb shits! the state by insinuating itself into this particular civil matter has criminalized poverty. only the poor go to jail in this country, we all know that. in fact, the sole reason the states got into persecuting so called deadbeat dads is because assholes with shitloads of cash didn't want to take care of their own fucking spawn. oh they pay more now but they have lawyers to minimize the pinch and in some cases finagle obscenely low monthly payments for themselves. think of it as an off shore account justice. but the poor don't have lawyers and some men can hardly support themselves let alone pay $400 a month per kid. but then some people don't care some poor asshole can only earn $175 a week after taxes. could you live on $75 a week? i used to have to live on $65. you live with a lot of other people under these circumstances which is literally just one step above homelessness. i ought to know. child support has made me homeless on at least 4 seperate occassions. way to go you 50 states! you've made it illegal to be poor and managed to find a new way to feed the beast of our corrupt legal system! are you fucking kidding me you dumb fucking assholes?!? may all legislaters and politicians burn in hell and have to suck my balls for all eternity. i'm free!
