An Arrogant Agreement

Well, yet another text has peaked the interest of the Great and Mighty Presto, that being "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift. This mortal explains his views on how to best solve ireland's issue of poverty during his time, completely literally, and not at all using sarcasm nor hyperbole, as that would be dumb. In this, he describes his proposed method consists of the consumption of the one year old infants within ireland, after all they serve as nothing more than a burden to their families, and this way their would both be means of selling them as to increase a households financial reserves, as well as alleviating the burden on the country as a whole by having less mouths to feed. The only issue The Great and Mighty Presto then has is the ick factor that comes into play when electing to feast upon mortal infants, Swift though assures us, through sources that shall be assumed to be credible-as The Great and Mighty Presto does not desire to check- that the actual meat that is recovered from this practice is supposedly quite delectable. Though, what this brings to The Great and Mighty Presto's mind is simply the thought that he may not be taking this quite far enough. Surely after all there is more figurative and quite literal fat to trim in modern times, what about mortals who refuse to pay their taxes?  They aren't following through with their societal duties after all, so what if we also "processed" them? Oh and don't give your glorious leader all that "but don't you think that killing and eating people is wrong", and "don't we at least have the rights to die with dignity?" crap, what a bleeding-heart liberal.
