Message:: [QUOTE="Texas John, post: 1056840, member: 25813"]Spoken like somebody who's never run a business. When an employer decides a job is worth net, say, $15 an hour, he'll then adjust the offer he makes to the prospective employee by the amount he'll have to pay in payroll taxes, and actually offer $13.85. You've fallen for the false narrative commonly used by "fair tax" hucksters and the like, in which all taxes but federal income tax are ignored, in order to promote the idea that rich people are groaning under a huge tax burden, while tens of millions of parasites get off scot free. Others who responded have filled in the rest of the story, so I think you should be able to understand the facts now. Unless, of course, you're one of those people who don't let facts unsettle their prejudices. There's a lot of it about.[/QUOTE]
