There are many articles on how to take advantage of tax savings on tips and overtime. The responses are many, with some applauding the actions, while others think it won't do much due to that few will undertake the complexity of sorting out the different incomes from a form that doesn't specify how the taxes were collected. In my opinion, it really doesn't matter. Changing where the tax comes from doesn't relieve the burden. Tax less for wages? Increase excise, and sales taxes to compensate for the problem that is being avoided: Government entities spend too much, don't care how much it burdens citizens, and will always find another way to steal from the labor of their citizens. Tax sleight of hand is the continuing process of fleecing the public, and the public becomes more ignorant every new generation.
All the tax shenanigans in the world doesn't solve the real problem. Which is unchecked, uncontrolled spending.
ReplyDeleteIt's a grifters paradise. Fill out the paperwork correctly, find the right agency, and they'll rob a few thousand taxpayers to help you with your grift.
DeleteIf they stopped the grift, they could stop most of the taxes.
ReplyDeleteThe administrating costs of the grift would astound most people. Even in my small, lower tax revenue county, there's apparent grift. At the national scale, it's probably at least a third of the budget.
