As a small business owner I can state emphatically that the taxes I pay on my employees wages is pure theft. And then I have to pay workers comp taxes and unemployment taxes on their wages too. Costs me 40 dollars an hour to pay you 20 and then you get less than 15 an hour after you pay your taxes. And at the end of the game they take 50% of what you have worked all your life to save that the hospital system hasnt already sucked out of your wallet to scratch out a couple extra years of a life thats mostly miserable due to health. Its a fucking racket.

Same. Own my own business, ironically tax preparation. I hope he abolishes the income tax.
And, I just wrote up a long email about large companies legally skirting paying FICA / Medicare on their employees.
We little people pay through the nose, but the big companies are using loopholes. So infuriating!
