exemption
Exemption is the制度 by which the state fashions privilege by withholding the very food of its coffers: taxes. Proclaimed as benevolence toward the wealthy, it often slams shut on those who need it most. A fleeting freedom, snatched from the social contract of taxation. In practice, it is a rescuing spell oft cast upon large corporations and select industries, leaving the individual’s purse to feel but a whisper of so-called 'benefit.'
