For example: Let's say your current small business makes $1M / year in profit. Normally everything above $388k or so would be taxed at 35%. Let's simplify and say it's a flat tax and you pay $350k in taxes. Now let's say you hire 20 employees instead at $50k / year which eliminates your profit. Now you've got 20 more employees to grow your business and you're not paying any income taxes. Problem solved. w00t!
That's funny, I must have missed the part in Economics 101 where it says the goal of business is to earn zero profit, and that the accompanying goal of the government is to tax the business so as to encourage that outcome. Was it in the section about Marxism, perhaps?
How does tripe like this get modded to +5?
