English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
Life as Tax: The Cost With No Appeal
What is the greatest tax we pay? This question was posed by a forum user, mvpower, who answers it himself: "Life." The occurrence points to something preceding any tribute: existence itself. Hence the formula, "The Imposition of Birth," which the same message presents as the title of a text that, according to its author, is "already on Amazon."
"The Imposition of Birth" as a Fixed Cost
The argument does not come from an economics manual or a calculation; it appears in a forum message announcing the publication on Amazon of a text titled "The Lunar Child: The Imposition of Birth." Other users respond with mockery, such as "The Flabby Child: The Imposition of Spam," or inquire about sales.
The author himself responds to this curiosity with a figure: "Only one copy was sold in total." One copy, according to his version, which he believes was purchased by "The Elegant Man." No further information is available regarding the book's reception.
