I have no idea what it does to contracts, it certainly has no jurisdiction over employer/employee relationships.

But the point is that Jorgenson is agreeing that you can't have both 1) workers keep same gross pay and 2) business realize cost savings to allow them to reduce prices.

A business can give it's employees a 25% take-home pay raise if they want, but they can't also save money on the elimination of the embedded worker payroll taxes. Put another way, You can't have your cake, and eat it too.

I am not understanding this statement the business is not giving you a 25% take home pay raise they just are not taking out taxes you still make the same amount of pay hourly.

Rob, when are you going to stop calling it a pay raise? The employers are already paying the money out. They are merely withholding some and sending it to the government instead. The employers will pay the employees the exact same amount.
