Rush used to say if you paid your taxes by writing a check once a year, people would realize how badly they’re being gouged and there would be more resistance to taxation. Payroll tax withholding is stealthy theft.
I pay my taxes once per year. I never get a refund, only idiots, do.
I hate the IRS. They will need all the ammo they bought.
I thought if you had to go into your local community office and to the state offices and to the federal office every month to pay taxes people would not put up with it.
True, but the true stealth tax is Corporate Taxes.
Corporations do not pay income taxes. They collect taxes.
Corporate income taxes are paid by the end user of their products and services.
Income taxes are a small portion of the taxes we pay.
Adding to my above post about volunteering to pay if like to add that a “flat tax” could not be voluntary.
They would simply bill you. Which is why it doesn’t work.
Worked with a company that had individual quarterly checks made out and had employees down to sign them.
I was thinking about that statement of Rush’s just the other day, he said it a few times over the years.
Cancel: “Payroll tax withholding”
Rush is correct.
