Dang y'all!  Is he really gone?  Promise he's gone, please.  Took seven pages of posts to get this 'un outta' here but it was worth all the comments I read from the sages.   

If I were absolute dictator of the US, for a couple of days; I'd simply change the tax code to get rid of withholding. You would get paid in full, and within your pay envelope would be your receipts to mail in your Federal, State and Municipal taxes. Along with receipts to mail in your FICA, Medicare, Disability, union dues, etc.. Then I'd like to see if any politico could find support for any kind of tax hike. Also as someone note above, I'd like the receipts for anything you buy to contain the breakdown of the businesses expenses. I think the profit margin on supermarkets is about 3%. It would be nice to have how little businesses make, to be staring you in the face.

You all chatter back and forth reinforcing each others comments like a bunch of magpies on a wire.
Name calling and belittlement is really all you have.

I'm so happy that you all are willing to pay the taxes that large business avoid through inversion.
I'm out of here!

Say hi to your professor!

I do some consulting and your point is well made. I just picked up a gig and called my CPA for guidance on taxes. I am obviously considered self-employed. When I advised him what my earnings would probably be he gave me a number to send to the feds and state that is 45% of my earnings which includes the self-employment tax and SS.. If every worker had to send a check to the feds and state every quarter there would truly be an uprising.

Hey dumb ass! We, as the consumer, pay every dime in taxes that business pays out to govt, whether the govt steals it from business or directly from our pay checks, they still get their revenue.

You just want to enable the robber in their game of theft.

Let me ask you one question. Did it ever occur to you, that govt might just be overtaxing and abusing the taxpayer with overspending?

Indeed! Moving facilities and people and opening new facilities and training new people are all very expensive. The question that should be asked is why the goivernment overtaxed and over-regulated businesses to the point that it became economically worthwhile to spend the $$ moving to a new country entails!
