Revolutionary Program for People Addicted to OPM (Other Peoples Money)
Chronic Public‑Office Spendthrifts
The classification of people belonging to Taxoholics Anonymous is 'suggested' to be addicts to OPM, Other Peoples Money, who require a mandatory 12-step program with attendance designed in the similar architecture of the original 12 step program by Bill W. and Dr. Bob in Akron OH in the 1930s.
Before that time, no alcoholics were able to contemplate stopping. Today, we have politicians and civil servants coast-to-coast who show zero restraint with Other Peoples Money. No one can say with a straight face that it's not the same problem. Like the original, We open with a preamble to the solution:
Taxoholics Anonymous Preamble (For Non-Fictional Public‑Office Spendthrifts Only)
Taxoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who have discovered, often too late, that unlimited access to Other People’s Money is not a personality trait but a chronic condition. Our members share one common problem: once entrusted with public funds, we tended to behave as though the supply was infinite, the consequences were theoretical, and the taxpayers were a distant rumour.
