Microsoft Accuses Government Of Having Monopoly On Lawmaking May 2nd, 2001
REDMOND, WA -- Anticipating widely expected vindication form an appellate appeals court yesterday, Microsoft accused the federal government of having a monopoly on law creation and enforcement in the United States. Microsoft said it was beginning a trial of the government in its own court of law to "prevent bias" that might occur in an actual court of law.
Industry analysts say the allegations are a brawny play to enter lucrative personal income taxation market. "With the taxation market burgeoning at $4 trillion in gross revenues," said an analyst at Business Week, "everyone knows personal taxation is going to be the next big thing- maybe even bigger than instant messaging."
The move was made only after the Redmond, Washington company recently announced its own system of taxation, .MONEY (pronounced "dot-money"), where consumers do not actually own their income but merely rent it from Microsoft over the internet. In a press release Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said, "Consumers are burdened by the weight of having to own things. We at Microsoft are working to make their lives better without this problem. Our innovations continue to benefit consumers."
