Social security

Social security may refer to social insurance, income maintenance and all that crap in other countries, but not in Gilbertopia.

In Gilbertopia, social security consists of taxes, more taxes, police, secret police and thought police.

Here's how it works:

1) You pay your taxes

2) Police demand taxes.

3) You say you've already paid your taxes.

4) Well now you've got new taxes, except now it goes to the police.

5)You go to court. Complaining about these fraudulent taxes.

6) The Judge demands a 'fee' to investigate your case......


Gilbertopia does, however, provide insurance, under the gubberment pw3nt (or owned, for you non-elite speakerz) compagnie, Gilassures Pt Ltd. Yes, just like other Gilbertopian economic sectors, it holds a monopoly on insurance.

The terms are pretty unique in Gilbertopian insurance. Laws are very different from what one might find in other countries. They vary from other countries in that:

a) In case of death, the policyholder is the one that will be paid. Family and friends or other beneficiaries do not apply.

b) There is no Unemployment Insurance, merely unemployment assurance.

c) Property is government's anyway, so you can't claim on that.

d) Insurance is mandatory

e) Apart from life insurance, there is no assurance that insurance will cover you.
