I wondered why all my receipts seemed to show me buying vats I never actually got. Now I understand that's really some underhanded tax scheme where the corporation gets to take more money because it did something or other it claims was useful or valuable in delivering my goods or services to me. Very shady!

Next you'll be telling me that the tea I drink really doesn't come from China.
