Quote from Pabst:
Hardly.Presently the lowest percentage of workers since the depression face federal tax liability. Despite the inane mantra "tax cuts for the rich", the tax code remains anachronistically progressive. As I've said before, This board must not know to many retirees on Union or public employee pensions. it's a sweet deal. Compare a postal worker retiring on 40k a year to a small business owner who pays exorbitant property taxes, business taxes, payroll taxes, assorted communication and energy taxes, and business licenses. I'm amazed that ANYONE is able to survive as a small entrepreneur. Is big business a Republican creation. No way. Economy of scale bro. Largely brought on by the onerous implications of a tax burden that has FORCED smaller businesses into co-opting themselves into conglomerates.
