“I learned early that the republic remembers how much it took from you and forgets how hard you bled to replace it. Fine. I keep my own memory. Every tax bite, every closed door, every smiling fool promoted over a better worker stays tallied. I do not seek fairness anymore; I seek enough money that I never have to ask leave of lesser people again.” — self-portrait, filed at registration
